Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer great cushioning, the 9060 is designed as a lifestyle trainer rather than a technical performance running shoe.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, New Balance 9060s generally follow standard sizing; however, check the size chart to ensure the correct UK fit for growing feet.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can compromise the adhesive and cushioning structure.
What is the primary material used?
This specific variant uses durable polyester, providing a breathable and lightweight feel for all-day wear.
What age group is this shoe designed for?
This particular model is designed for kids, offering the style of the adult 9060 in a size-appropriate frame.
How do I maintain the shape of the shoe?
Using a shoe tree or stuffing the shoes with paper when not in use helps them retain their structure.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the polyester mesh
Use a gentle foaming sneaker cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to lift surface debris without soaking the fabric.
Midsole scuffs
A magic eraser or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution can typically remove dark marks from the rubberized pod midsole.
Laces coming undone
Double-knot the laces or consider replacing them with elastic no-tie laces if the child struggles with traditional tying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 9060 trainers, keep the following care tips in mind:
- Cleaning: Spot clean the polyester upper using a soft brush, mild detergent, and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam midsole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or fading.
- Compatibility: The neutral Black and Grey colorway makes these trainers highly versatile, pairing well with jeans, track pants, or casual school uniforms.
- Fit Check: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to allow for natural toe splay and healthy growth.
