FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 Charcoal shoes suitable for athletic activities like running?
While the New Balance 9060 features performance-inspired design and Abzorb cushioning for comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe rather than for dedicated high-performance running or training.
How do I best clean the mesh and suede materials?
For mesh, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt, and a suede cleaner for stains. Always air dry away from direct heat and avoid machine washing.
What does Abzorb cushioning do?
Abzorb is a proprietary New Balance foam material that provides exceptional shock absorption and energy return, delivering superior comfort and responsiveness with every step.
Will the chunky sole make the shoe feel heavy?
Despite its chunky appearance, the midsole is engineered to provide substantial cushioning without excessive weight, offering a balanced feel for daily wear. Info needed: [Exact shoe weight is not available, but it's designed for comfort.]
Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?
Generally, New Balance sizing tends to be consistent. However, individual fit can vary. It's usually recommended to try them on or refer to a New Balance size chart if you're unsure.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The suede material is susceptible to water damage and staining. While the shoes can handle light dampness, it's best to avoid heavy rain or puddles. A water-repellent spray designed for suede can offer some protection.
Troubleshooting
Suede overlays appear dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For set-in stains, apply a high-quality suede cleaner according to the product's instructions, and then brush the nap back into place once dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Shoes develop an odor.
Remove insoles and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry after wear.
General wear and tear making them look dull.
Regularly clean both mesh and suede components as described in the care section. For scuffs on suede, a suede eraser can often help. Consistent care extends the shoe's fresh appearance.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 9060 Charcoal shoes, especially due to their suede components.
- Spot Cleaning: For light dirt on the mesh, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently wipe the affected area.
- Suede Care: For suede overlays, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for the material. Always follow the product's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your shoes. This can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause cracking or fading.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Protection: Consider using a suede and fabric protector spray to help repel water and stains, applying it before the first wear and reapplying periodically.
