FAQs
Are these trainers good for running?
While the New Balance 9060 offers excellent cushioning and support, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for everyday wear, not for high-performance running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the safest method to preserve the materials and shape.
What does 'Y2K tech aesthetic' mean for the design?
It refers to a design influence from the technological and fashion trends around the year 2000, characterized by futuristic elements, bolder shapes, and often a blend of retro and modern influences.
How durable is the diamond outsole pattern?
The diamond outsole pattern is inspired by the 860 design and is intended to provide good traction and durability for everyday use on various surfaces.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The trainers feature dual-density cushioning and ABZORB technology which contribute to overall foot support and comfort, but they are not specifically designed as orthopedic shoes for severe arch issues.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on. Wear with thin socks initially. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider if the size is appropriate.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components or the tongue rubbing. Try adjusting the lacing or applying a small amount of powder under the insole if the squeak seems to come from there.
Discoloration on the light beige upper
Address stains immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized shoe cleaner for light-colored materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
