Full details
The New Balance 9060 Kids Trainers are designed for active children who need a blend of futuristic style and reliable comfort for everyday play. Drawing inspiration from the iconic 99X series, these shoes offer a unique Y2K-inspired aesthetic with advanced cushioning technology, making them an excellent choice for growing feet. While the sculpted midsole provides significant support, the bold, exaggerated design may feel bulkier than traditional slim-profile sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 9060 features high-end cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear and daily activity rather than high-performance distance running.
What is the primary material used?
This specific version of the 9060 is constructed with a durable polyester upper.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If your child is between sizes or prefers extra room for growth, consider sizing up by a half size.
Can the insoles be removed?
Most New Balance lifestyle trainers have removable insoles if you need to use custom orthotics.
How do I identify the model?
The model information, including the MPN (GC9060BK), is typically found on the tongue label inside the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or mud on the upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried debris, then wipe down with a damp cloth.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure laces are tightened securely; consider double-knotting if the activity level is high.
Creasing on the toe box
Creasing is a natural result of the flexible polyester material; use a shoe tree when not worn to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 9060s last as long as possible, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Given the polyester upper construction, it is recommended to clean them by wiping the exterior with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution; avoid soaking the shoes completely or putting them in a tumble dryer, as this can degrade the specialized cushioning and adhesive elements. Check the size 6.5 fit regularly to accommodate growth spurts, as proper fit is essential for the effectiveness of the support technologies built into the midsole.
