FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 trainers suitable for running?
The 9060 trainers are primarily designed for comfort and style, featuring cushioning technologies suitable for walking and everyday activities. While they can handle light jogging, they are not specialized running shoes and may not offer the specific support or responsiveness required for intense running.
How do I determine my correct size in the 9060 series?
It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with New Balance's official size chart. Many users find it helpful to try them on in-store or consult reviews regarding fit, as sizing can sometimes vary.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The mesh and synthetic upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. For wet weather, consider weather-resistant footwear or using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for sneakers.
What is the difference between ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance technology that absorbs impact and provides a responsive feel. SBS (Strobel Board System) refers to the construction method where the upper is stitched to a fiberboard, often combined with foam for cushioning and comfort.
How often should I clean my 9060 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after heavy use or exposure to dirt and stains. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth and occasional deeper cleaning using appropriate methods for the materials (suede brush, mild soap for mesh) will help maintain their condition.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The New Balance 9060 series is available in various colorways. While this guide focuses on the White/Grey variant, it's worth checking the official New Balance website or retailers for the full range of available colors.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit or discomfort
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoe feels slightly tight initially, wearing them for short periods can help them break in. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. New Balance offers replacement laces, or you can find suitable alternatives at most shoe retailers.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the ABZORB and SBS cushioning is durable, it may naturally compress with extensive use. For significant loss of cushioning, consider exploring insoles or a professional shoe assessment.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your 9060 trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the mesh and synthetic parts with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure any debris is removed from the diamond pattern on the outsole.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
