FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB cushioning?

The ABZORB cushioning in the midsole and outsole provides superior shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints, and offering a responsive feel with every step.

Are these trainers suitable for professional athletic training?

These trainers are designed for speed and agility, offering good support and cushioning. While suitable for light training and general athletic activities, they may not be specialized enough for elite, high-intensity professional sports that require specific footwear technology.

How should I clean the suede and mesh materials?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth is recommended for general cleaning. Specialized suede cleaners and protectors can be used for the suede overlays, but always test on a small area first and allow to air dry.

What does the 'Moonbeam' in the product name refer to?

'Moonbeam' refers to the specific shade of off-white or light beige used for some of the suede overlays, complementing the overall light-grey color scheme.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

While the suede overlays offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles is not recommended.

What is the main difference between the inner and outer N logos?

The New Balance N logo on the outer side features a more traditional styling, while the inner side may display a different execution or variation of the logo, adding a unique design element to the shoe.

What UK shoe sizes are available for the New Balance 9060 series?

The New Balance 9060 series is available in a wide range of UK adult male sizes, including options like 4.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8, 9, 9.5, 10.5, and 11, among others, depending on the specific colorway and material.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight on first wear

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted for a more comfortable fit.

Suede material appears dirty or stained

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth may be used cautiously. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

While ABZORB cushioning is durable, performance can decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not used for activities beyond their intended scope. Proper care and avoiding excessive impact can prolong cushioning life.

Discomfort on the heel or ankle

Ensure the laces are tied correctly, providing adequate support without being too tight. Check if the shoe size is appropriate. A potential break-in period may be required for the heel collar to soften.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size before wearing.

Compatibility:

  • Activity: Best suited for running, training, walking, and casual wear.

Care:

  • Cleaning: For the suede and mesh components, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid soaking the shoes.
