FAQs

What age group are these New Balance 9060 shoes designed for?

These New Balance 9060 shoes are specifically designed for kids, offering features and sizing appropriate for growing feet. The product name 'New Balance 9060 - Black - Size: 4' indicates a children's size 4 (UK).

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear and active play?

Yes, the New Balance 9060 Kids' Shoes are highly suitable for both everyday wear and active play. Their robust construction, dual-density cushioning, and reliable outsole provide comfort, support, and durability for various activities.

How do I properly clean the pigskin suede on these shoes?

For pigskin suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals directly on the suede, as this can cause damage or staining. Always let them air dry if they get damp.

What do ABZORB and SBS cushioning do?

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam that provides superior cushioning and compression resistance, absorbing impact. SBS cushioning works in conjunction with ABZORB to enhance shock absorption and stability, contributing to a comfortable and controlled stride for active children.

Are these shoes available in other colors or sizes for kids?

Yes, the New Balance 9060 series for kids typically comes in a range of colors and sizes. While this specific guide is for the black, size 4 (UK) variant, you can check product listings for other available options like Grey and various children's sizes.

Are the New Balance 9060 Kids' Shoes water-resistant?

While the mesh and pigskin suede provide some level of protection, these shoes are not fully waterproof or highly water-resistant. Excessive exposure to water, especially on the suede, should be avoided to prevent damage and maintain their appearance. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

My child complains the shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight.

First, ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. Re-lace the shoes, making sure the tongue is centered and the laces are evenly snug but not constricting. Also, check sock thickness; thinner socks might improve comfort. Verify the size using a foot measuring device, as children's feet grow quickly.

The suede overlays look dirty or have developed stains.

For general dirt, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently rub the affected area. For minor stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can leave marks. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.

The shoes seem to be losing their grip or traction.

Inspect the diamond outsole pattern for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove any dirt or small stones that might be reducing traction. If the outsole is significantly worn smooth, it may be time to consider a new pair for optimal safety.

The shoes produce a squeaking sound when walking.

A common cause for squeaking is friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath it, and then replacing it. If the squeak persists, it could be an external issue; check if laces are rubbing or if the outsole is interacting oddly with a specific surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning and support for active children
  • Durable construction with quality materials (mesh, pigskin suede)
  • Unique and stylish design with a modern, futuristic aesthetic
  • Lightweight feel despite robust build
  • Secure lace closure for an adjustable fit

Cons

  • Pigskin suede overlays may require specific cleaning and care
  • The "warped sensibility" and exaggerated proportions might not appeal to all tastes
  • Potentially chunkier profile compared to more minimalist children's shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The New Balance 9060 features a traditional lace closure system. To ensure optimal comfort and support:

  1. Loosen the laces fully before putting the shoe on.
  2. Slide the foot in, ensuring the heel is snug against the back of the shoe.
  3. Tighten the laces evenly, starting from the toe box and working upwards, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Double-knot for added security for active kids.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for kids (ages specified as 'kids' or 'children's foot size' in variants) and are unisex, suitable for both boys and and girls. They are ideal for everyday wear, light athletic activities, and casual outings.

Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 9060 shoes, consider the following:

  • General Cleaning: For mesh areas, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush, then wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap solution.
  • Suede Overlays: For pigskin suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid excessive moisture, as water can stain suede. If they get wet, let them air dry away from direct heat.
  • Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction.
