FAQs

Are New Balance 9060 trainers suitable for running?

While the 9060 trainers feature advanced cushioning for comfort, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light urban activities, not for high-performance running or intense athletic training. For running, we recommend New Balance models specifically engineered for that purpose.

How do I clean the suede upper on my 9060 trainers?

For basic cleaning, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly with a soft brush and follow the product's instructions. Always allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Are these shoes true to size?

New Balance 9060 trainers generally run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to determine the most comfortable fit.

What is `ABZORB` and `SBS` cushioning?

`ABZORB` is a New Balance proprietary foam material that provides excellent cushioning and compression resistance. `SBS` (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) is an elastomer that further enhances cushioning by providing responsive bounce and additional impact absorption, working together for superior comfort.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

Due to the suede upper, it's advisable to avoid wearing your 9060 trainers in heavy wet weather. Suede can be susceptible to water damage and staining. Applying a quality suede protectant spray can offer some resistance against light moisture.

Are the 9060 trainers unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 9060 trainers are designed as a unisex style, offering a versatile aesthetic that can be worn by individuals of any gender.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the affected area in one direction to remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede-specific cleaner following the product's instructions.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing. Try loosening the laces in the forefoot area for more room or tightening them for a more secure fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the best fit.

Squeaking sound when walking

Check for loose insoles; sometimes removing and reinserting them correctly can resolve the issue. Also, ensure no small debris is trapped under the insole or outsole. If the squeak persists, a light application of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Color fading on suede

Color fading can occur over time, especially with exposure to direct sunlight. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct light. While complete restoration is difficult, a suede dye might be an option, but this should be done by a professional or with extreme caution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started (Setup)

Your New Balance 9060 trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply unlace them to your comfort, slide your foot in, and lace them up securely. Experiment with different lacing styles to achieve your preferred fit and look. Ensure your socks are comfortable and appropriate for the fit of the shoe.

Compatibility

These trainers feature a unisex design, making them suitable for various foot shapes and styles. Their versatile grey and white colorway allows them to complement a wide array of casual outfits, from contemporary streetwear to more relaxed, everyday ensembles. They are compatible with most standard athletic and casual socks.

Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your suede New Balance 9060 trainers, follow these care instructions:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs on the suede, use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry cloth. Gently brush in one direction to lift dirt and restore the nap.
  2. Deeper Cleaning (Suede): For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Apply sparingly with a soft brush, working in small circular motions. Follow the product instructions and allow to air dry completely.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean the rubber midsole and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe away any dirt or grime, then rinse with a clean damp cloth.
  4. Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the materials.
  5. Protection: Consider using a suede protectant spray to help repel water and stains, especially before wearing them in wet conditions.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation and color fading. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

Important: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can severely damage the suede and structural integrity.
