FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 Castlerock suitable for actual running?
While inspired by running shoe aesthetics and featuring cushioning technology, the 9060 series is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and style rather than high-performance running capabilities.
How do I clean the ABZORB midsole?
The ABZORB midsole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or submerging the shoe in water.
What is the main design influence for the 9060 series?
The 9060 series draws inspiration from classic New Balance models such as the 990 and 991, blending heritage elements with a modern, exaggerated design.
How does the sizing run for these trainers?
The New Balance 9060 generally runs true to size for most wearers. It is recommended to consult New Balance's official size chart for accurate measurements.
What materials are used in the construction of the 9060 Castlerock?
The Castlerock colorway features a combination of leather and mesh materials on the upper, providing both durability and breathability.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
These trainers are not specifically designed as waterproof. While the leather elements offer some resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Ensure they are properly dried afterwards if they get wet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Wear with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher if made of leather. Break-in period may help.
Discomfort during walking
Verify the lacing is appropriate for your foot. The ABZORB midsole is designed for cushioning; allow a short break-in period if new.
Visible scuffs on leather
Use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for footwear. For minor scuffs, a color-matched shoe polish might help.
Mesh appears dirty
Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the mesh areas. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
