FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 9060 series is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and style. While they provide support, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running activities.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used with caution. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely and avoid soaking the suede.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
Suede is sensitive to moisture. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, it is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining.
What does 'Driftwood' refer to in the product name?
'Driftwood' refers to the color palette and style inspiration of the trainers, often evoking natural, earthy tones combined with complementary accent colors like 'Pink Sea Salt'.
Are these trainers available in other sizes or colors?
The New Balance 9060 series is available in various sizes and colorways. This guide specifically covers the 'Driftwood' style in a UK 5.5. Please check other product listings for different variations.
What is the main difference between the 9060 series and other New Balance trainers?
The 9060 series often features a more exaggerated, technologically inspired design that builds upon New Balance's running heritage. It typically incorporates bolder lines and a more robust sole unit compared to classic lifestyle or running models.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or a lightly dampened cloth, working from the outside of the stain inward. Allow to air dry completely.
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure you have accurately measured your foot according to New Balance's sizing chart. Different models can have slight variations. Consider trying on in-store if possible or checking user reviews for fit advice.
Color fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store the shoes in a dark, cool place when not in use. Suede protector sprays can also offer some UV protection.
