What is the typical fit of the New Balance 9060?

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or too loose
Try the sneakers with different sock thicknesses. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up or down, as individual foot shapes vary. Consult the New Balance size chart for accurate measurements.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit according to the product's instructions.
Discomfort during long wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially.
Color transfer from suede to socks
This can occur with new suede items. Wear darker socks initially. If significant transfer occurs, consider using a suede sealant spray, following product instructions carefully.
