FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?
The New Balance 9060 trainers offer good cushioning and support for general activities, including running and jumping during playtime or casual sports. For highly specialized or intense athletic training, dedicated sports-specific footwear might be more appropriate.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for kids' footwear. Measure your child's foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the provided measurements. Consider the width and ensure there is a little room for growth.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede material. Machine washing can damage the structure, adhesives, and materials. Hand washing or spot cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB provides a responsive feel and absorbs impact, while SBS (Shoring. Braking. Support.) cushioning offers stability and shock absorption. Together, they provide enhanced comfort and support for active use.
How does the 'Y2K-inspired' design translate to the shoe?
The design incorporates elements like warped proportions, visible technology aesthetics, and expanded sway bars, drawing inspiration from the bold, futuristic looks popular around the year 2000.
What does 'Unisex' mean for these trainers?
'Unisex' means the design and colorway are intended to be suitable for both boys and girls, offering a versatile option for any child.
Is the suede material treated for water resistance?
The product information does not specify water resistance treatment for the suede. It's advisable to protect the suede from excessive moisture and treat it with a suitable protector spray if desired, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The advanced cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size is selected.
Suede material looks dirty or scuffed.
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or eraser as per product instructions. Avoid using water on suede.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied.
Ensure laces are threaded correctly through eyelets. Consider using a double knot or replacing laces with a different material that offers better grip.
Discoloration on the upper.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth and appropriate cleaners for suede and mesh materials. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
