FAQs

What kind of cushioning do the New Balance 9060 trainers use?

The New Balance 9060 features both ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies in the midsole for advanced comfort and impact absorption.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

The New Balance 9060 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer, offering comfort and style for everyday wear. While comfortable for walking, it is not optimized for high-performance running or athletic sports.

What materials are used in the upper of the 9060 trainers?

The upper is constructed with a combination of breathable mesh and wavy leather overlays, creating a mixed-texture design.

How do I clean my all-white New Balance 9060 trainers?

For general cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For stains, use a mild shoe cleaner with a soft brush on the mesh and a specialized leather cleaner on the leather sections. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is the inspiration behind the 9060's design?

The 9060 draws inspiration from New Balance's classic 99X series for its heritage, and the 860 series for elements like the outsole pattern. It also incorporates an early 2000s aesthetic.

Is the transparent CR device just for looks?

No, the transparent CR device in the heel is functional; it provides support and enhances heel stability during wear.

Are New Balance 9060 trainers true to size?

New Balance trainers generally run true to size, but it's always recommended to try them on or refer to a New Balance size chart for the most accurate fit, especially with new silhouettes.

Troubleshooting

Trainers appear dirty quickly due to white color.

Regularly wipe trainers with a damp cloth after each wear. For tougher stains, use a mild shoe cleaner and a soft brush for spot cleaning. Address stains immediately to prevent them from setting.

Discomfort or rubbing during wear.

Ensure you have the correct size. The trainers may require a short break-in period. Try different sock thicknesses or lacing techniques to find the most comfortable fit. If discomfort persists, consult a sizing guide or try them on again.

Outsole traction seems to decrease over time.

Regularly clean the outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing grip. A stiff brush can be effective. Avoid wearing on excessively slippery surfaces if traction is a primary concern.

Material (mesh/leather) appears worn or damaged prematurely.

Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions, especially avoiding harsh chemicals or machine washing. Protect the trainers from extreme conditions and store them properly to prolong their lifespan. While durable, excessive abrasive contact can cause wear.

Care and Maintenance

To keep your New Balance 9060 Trainers looking their best, especially the white colorway and mixed materials, follow these care instructions:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the trainers regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
  2. Spot Cleaning for Stains: For stubborn marks, particularly on the white leather and mesh, use a mild shoe cleaner or a mixture of gentle soap and water. Apply with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  3. Mesh Care: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently clean dirt from the mesh upper. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the material.
  4. Leather Care: For the leather overlays, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain its quality and prevent cracking.
  5. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the materials and adhesives.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation.
  7. Avoid Washing Machine: Do not put your trainers in a washing machine, as this can severely damage the cushioning, adhesives, and overall structure.
