Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 9060 trainers are designed for kids seeking a blend of classic 99X series style with a futuristic, Y2K-inspired aesthetic. The key benefit is the combination of visible tech design and advanced cushioning for comfort and a distinctive look. A potential consideration is that these trainers interpret familiar elements with a 'warped' sensibility, which may differ from traditional designs. Key features include ABZORB and SBS cushioning, expanded sway bars, and a durable suede and mesh construction.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

The New Balance 9060 trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good traction, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact or specialized sports activities.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used with care. Avoid soaking the suede.

What is the main difference between this kids' version and the adult 9060?

The kids' version offers the same contemporary style and cushioning technologies as the adult model, but is sized specifically for children and may have minor adjustments for a youthful fit.

What does 'Y2K-inspired' design mean for the shoes?

It refers to a design aesthetic influenced by the early 2000s, characterized by visible technology, bold lines, and a futuristic outlook, which is reflected in the shoe's construction and proportions.

How supportive is the ankle collar?

The trainers feature a padded collar designed to provide additional comfort and support around the ankle area.

Can these trainers be washed in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth and appropriate cleaners for suede and mesh materials.

What kind of cushioning technology is used?

The shoes utilize New Balance's ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies, which are integrated into the pod midsole for enhanced shock absorption and a comfortable stride.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure the laces are properly loosened before putting the shoes on and then tied to a comfortable fit. If still too tight, confirm the correct size has been purchased.

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaning guide for appropriate methods.

Soles feel slippery

The rubber outsole provides traction, but on extremely wet or polished surfaces, grip may be reduced. Ensure the soles are clean of debris.

Discomfort after a short period

Verify the lacing provides adequate support without being too constrictive. Break in the shoes with short periods of wear before extended use.
