FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 9060 features performance-based cushioning like ABZORB, it is primarily styled as a lifestyle trainer for daily wear rather than a dedicated performance running shoe.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
Measure your child's feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest, and refer to the specific UK sizing guide provided for these models.
Are the laces standard or elastic?
The New Balance 9060 typically comes with standard tie laces to ensure a secure, adjustable fit for different foot shapes.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to air them out or replace them with orthotics.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed with a mix of materials designed for durability, often featuring textile and synthetic overlays that provide the signature 9060 look.
Is the sole non-marking?
The outsole is designed for standard urban and indoor surfaces; however, it is always recommended to check the outsole for debris before using on polished gym floors.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the shoe on
Ensure the laces are fully loosened and the tongue is pulled forward before inserting the foot.
Midsole appears scuffed
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff out marks on the sculpted pods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for a straightforward fit. To ensure the best experience, verify your child's UK foot size, as these are available in various children's and toddler sizing.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove loose dirt.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the textured midsole pods.
- Avoid machine washing, as it may compromise the structural integrity of the cushioning and the upper materials.
