FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 9060 offers excellent cushioning for everyday play, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer rather than a dedicated performance running shoe.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity of the midsole and the adhesives used in the upper.
What does the 9060 series mean?
The 9060 is a modern expression of New Balance's heritage 99X series, reinterpreting classic design elements with a futuristic, Y2K-inspired perspective.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
Yes, the sculpted pod midsole and the structural sway bars contribute to a supportive feel throughout the midfoot and heel area.
Is the material waterproof?
The polyester upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep puddles to keep the interior dry and the materials clean.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty cleaning dirt from the wavy midsole pods
Use an old, clean toothbrush to reach into the crevices of the sculpted midsole with a mixture of soap and water.
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot the laces or consider using elastic laces if the child finds traditional tying difficult.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 9060s, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole and midsole pods. For the polyester upper, use a mild detergent mixed with lukewarm water and a soft cloth to gently blot away stains.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as these can warp the midsole material and damage the synthetic fabrics.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most children, but due to the structured nature of the 9060 design, wearing thin-to-medium athletic socks is recommended for the best fit.
