FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the New Balance 9060 White Navy?
The New Balance 9060 White Navy is designed as a lifestyle and casual running shoe, offering a blend of comfort, technology, and style. It is suitable for everyday wear and light athletic activities.
What materials are used in the upper construction?
The upper is constructed from a combination of white mesh for breathability and premium leather overlays for structure and durability.
How does the cushioning system work?
It features a dual-density midsole with SBS (Strobel board stitch and stitch) and ABZORB cushioning technologies, designed to provide superior shock absorption and a comfortable ride.
Is this shoe suitable for serious marathon running?
While it offers excellent cushioning, the 9060 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use. For serious marathon training, dedicated performance running shoes might be more appropriate.
How should I clean these shoes?
Gently clean the mesh and leather with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Air dry away from direct heat.
What does the '9060' in the name signify?
The '9060' refers to a specific silhouette and design language within New Balance's range, often characterized by a modern, retro-inspired aesthetic and enhanced cushioning.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The shoes can handle light moisture, but the mesh upper is not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they get wet.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days. If it persists, check if the insole is loose and reseat it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear appropriate athletic socks. If discomfort persists in a specific area, consider using moleskin or bandages on your feet in that area.
Color transfer from navy accents
On initial wears, especially in wet conditions, there might be slight color transfer. Ensure the shoes are dry before wearing with light-colored socks or trousers. Allow time for any excess dye to wear off.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing.
