FAQs
What is the main inspiration for the New Balance 9060 design?
The 9060 design is inspired by the Y2K era, reinterpreting classic running shoe features with a modern, exaggerated aesthetic.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning, the New Balance 9060 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-performance running.
What are the primary materials used in the 9060 trainers?
They typically feature a combination of leather and mesh for durability and breathability.
How should I clean the leather and mesh parts of the trainers?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap for the leather. For mesh, a soft brush can help remove dirt. Always air dry.
Can I wear these trainers with orthotics?
The insoles are generally removable, making it possible to replace them with custom orthotics. Check the specific pair or consult product details.
What does 'Outerspace/Castlerock/Silver Metallic' refer to?
This describes the colorway of the trainers. 'Outerspace' is the primary blue hue, 'Castlerock' is a grey shade, and 'Silver Metallic' are accent colors.
What is the warranty period for New Balance trainers?
New Balance typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty details should be checked with the retailer or manufacturer's official website.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Check the UK size against New Balance's official sizing guide. Ensure laces are adjusted properly. Consider trying a different size if the issue persists.
Discomfort during initial wear
The trainers may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure socks are appropriate for trainers.
Scuffs or minor dirt marks
Use a dedicated shoe cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the affected areas. Test cleaner on an inconspicuous spot first.
Laces wear out or break
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. New Balance or other sports retailers offer replacement options.
