FAQs
Are these New Balance 9060 sneakers suitable for running?
The New Balance 9060 offers excellent cushioning and support for everyday comfort and light athletic activities. However, they are not specifically designed as high-performance running shoes for intensive training or competitive racing.
How do I best clean the suede and mesh materials on my shoes?
For suede, use a soft-bristle suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For mesh, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid saturating either material. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Is the chunky sole heavy to wear?
While the New Balance 9060 features a prominent chunky sole, its design incorporates lightweight materials and advanced cushioning technologies (ABZORB, SBS) to provide a comfortable and supportive feel without being excessively heavy for everyday wear.
Do these shoes run true to size?
New Balance shoes typically run true to size, but individual fit can vary. This specific model is a UK size 8.5. If you are unsure, it is always recommended to refer to New Balance's official sizing guide or try them on.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
The suede material is not naturally water-resistant and can be prone to water damage and staining. It's best to avoid heavy rain or standing water. Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede can offer some protection against light moisture.
What do ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies do?
ABZORB is a superior blend of foam cushioning and compression set, engineered to absorb impact and resist compression, providing excellent shock absorption. SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) is a type of foam that offers additional stability and enhanced cushioning, particularly in the heel area, contributing to overall comfort and support.
Are there other color options available in the New Balance 9060 series?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 series is available in various colorways beyond grey, including popular options like Sea Salt Raincloud, White, and Black, catering to different style preferences.
What activities are these sneakers best suited for?
These sneakers are ideally suited for daily casual wear, urban exploration, comfortable walking, and light exercise. Their combination of distinctive style and advanced comfort technology makes them versatile for a wide range of everyday activities where both look and feel are important.
Troubleshooting
Suede material appears dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For tougher marks, apply a specialized suede cleaner following its instructions, then brush the nap to restore its texture.
Shoes feel less comfortable or supportive than initially.
Ensure your laces are properly tied for optimal support. Check the insoles for signs of wear; replacing them with new insoles can often restore comfort and support. Regularly clean the shoes to prevent material degradation.
Shoes develop an odor after wear.
Allow your shoes to air out completely after each wear, removing the insoles if possible to aid drying. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then tap it out before wearing.
