FAQs

Are the New Balance 9060 'Driftwood' suitable for running?

While they offer good cushioning for everyday wear, the 9060 series is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer, not for high-impact athletic activities like running. For running, consider specialized running shoes.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoes?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a suede cleaner can be effective, but always test on a small, hidden area first and use sparingly.

What is the primary material of the New Balance 9060 'Driftwood'?

The shoes feature a combination of materials, including a white mesh foundation, pale pink suede panels, and creamy leather accents. Leather trims are also present.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance. A suede protector spray can offer some resistance.

What does the '9060' designation mean?

The 9060 is a model number within New Balance's product line, representing a specific design evolution that combines elements from past silhouettes with modern technology and aesthetics.

Are these trainers true to size?

New Balance trainers are generally considered to run true to size. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to check reviews or try them on if possible.

What is the 'Driftwood' colorway?

The 'Driftwood' colorway refers to the specific 'Driftwood Stone Pink Sea Salt' combination, characterized by its blend of earthy tones with soft pink and off-white accents.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner may be used sparingly.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure you have the correct size and that laces are adjusted properly. Break-in periods can vary, but significant discomfort may indicate an improper fit.

Color transfer from suede

This can sometimes occur, especially when the material is new or wet. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing with light-colored socks or trousers. Consider a suede protector spray.

Mesh areas becoming discolored

Avoid exposing the trainers to excessive direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Clean gently with a damp cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and stylish design that stands out.
  • Comfortable for everyday wear due to the cushioned midsole.
  • Versatile colorway that can be paired with various outfits.
  • Made with a combination of quality materials like suede, mesh, and leather.
  • Unisex design makes it suitable for a wide range of individuals.

Cons

  • Suede material requires specific care to maintain its appearance.
  • Chunky sole may not be preferred by those seeking a minimalist aesthetic.
  • Can be priced higher than standard athletic shoes due to design and materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

These trainers require no setup as they are ready to wear straight out of the box. Their compatibility is broad, designed to fit a standard adult foot.

Care Instructions:

  • General Cleaning: Wipe the leather and mesh areas with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Suede Care: For suede panels, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. For stains, consider a suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if necessary.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape.
