New Balance 9060 - Black - Leather - UK 9

While the New Balance 9060 offers excellent cushioning with ABZORB and SBS technology, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-performance running.

For general cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow the product instructions, then air dry.

The leather upper provides some natural resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. For better protection against rain, consider applying a leather-specific water repellent spray.

The New Balance 9060 typically offers a true-to-size fit. The lace-up closure and padded cuff allow for a comfortable and adjustable fit for most foot shapes.

ABZORB is a foam-based cushioning and compression set resistance set material that provides optimal shock absorption. SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) is a non-cellular rubber compound that further enhances cushioning and stability by resisting compression.

These shoes are designed for casual, everyday wear and offer great comfort for walking. They are not engineered for specific sports that require specialized support, grip, or flexibility.

The chunky sole features a textured grip tread designed to provide reliable traction on various urban surfaces. However, extreme wet or icy conditions may still reduce grip.

Clean the leather with a damp cloth and apply a quality leather conditioner to restore its luster and suppleness.

Check if the insoles are properly seated. If the squeak persists, sometimes applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole can help.

Try double knotting the laces or experimenting with different lacing techniques for a more secure fit.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Adjust lacing tension – loosen if too tight, tighten if too loose. If discomfort persists, consider checking your foot measurements against New Balance's sizing guide.
