The midsole features New Balance's ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms for enhanced comfort and support.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning for walking and daily wear, the New Balance 9060 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion purposes, not high-impact running.
How should I clean the suede on these trainers?
Use a suede brush for general cleaning and nap restoration. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first and following product instructions.
What is the fit like for the 9060?
The 9060 typically offers a comfortable fit with generous cushioning. However, due to the design's proportions, some users may find them to have a unique feel. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
What does 'Mindful Grey and Dark Olivine' refer to?

Troubleshooting
Laces becoming untied frequently
Try a different lacing knot, such as a secure reef knot, or consider replacing the laces with a pair that has more grip.
Suede material appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently clean the surface. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Discomfort on the sides of the foot
Ensure the laces are not too tight in that area. If the issue persists, the shoes might require a break-in period, or they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Color transfer onto socks
This can occasionally happen with darker dyes. Try wearing darker socks initially or use a fabric protector spray designed for shoes.
