FAQs

Are the New Balance 9060 suitable for running?

The New Balance 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact activities like running and may not provide the necessary support or performance for such uses.

How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?

You can gently clean the mesh areas with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow the trainers to air dry completely away from direct heat.

What is the main inspiration behind the 9060 design?

The design is inspired by a blend of familiar elements from New Balance's classic 99X series and the visible technology aesthetic of the Y2K era, reinterpreted with a modern, warped sensibility.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the suede and mesh offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain comfort.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the New Balance 9060 model is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.

What makes the cushioning in the 9060 special?

The 9060 features a sculpted pod midsole that places an exaggerated emphasis on the familiar cushioning platforms of ABZORB and SBS, providing enhanced comfort and shock absorption for daily wear.

Troubleshooting

Tight fit or discomfort

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear the trainers around the house to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit or insoles for added comfort.

Suede appearing worn or dirty

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Protect with a suede protector spray.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and color. Ensure you double-knot to prevent loosening.
