FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the 9060 model?
The 9060 is inspired by the classic 99X series, reinterpreted with a Y2K-era aesthetic, focusing on visible technology and exaggerated proportions.
What cushioning technologies are used in the 9060?
The 9060 features ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms, integrated into a sculpted pod midsole for enhanced comfort and support.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While comfortable for everyday wear and walking, the 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe with a focus on style and comfort rather than high-performance athletic activities.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to New Balance's official sizing chart, which typically provides measurements in centimeters or inches that can be converted to UK shoe sizes. Ensure you measure both feet as they may differ slightly.
Can the suede parts of the trainers be waterproofed?
Yes, you can use a dedicated suede waterproofing spray. Apply it evenly to clean, dry suede following the product's instructions. This helps protect against water and stains.
What is the difference between the 99X series and the 9060?
The 9060 is a contemporary interpretation of the 99X series, taking elements from classic models and updating them with modern design cues, Y2K influences, and enhanced cushioning technologies.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a cloth, following product instructions, and then brush.
Midsole shows scuff marks
Gently clean the midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoelaces become worn
Replace laces with standard trainer laces. Ensure the length is appropriate for the number of eyelets on the shoe.
