FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for infants starting to walk?
Yes, the 9060 offers excellent stability through its wide, sculpted midsole, which provides a solid base for early walkers.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's foot length and comparing it to the New Balance size chart, ensuring at least 1cm of wiggle room at the toes.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, it is highly recommended to hand clean these shoes to preserve the integrity of the specialized cushioning and materials.
Are the 9060s heavy?
Despite their bulky aesthetic, they are constructed with lightweight nylon, keeping them manageable for children.
What is the difference between ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
Both are advanced foam technologies; ABZORB is focused on impact absorption, while SBS adds additional cushioning stability.
Are the laces functional?
Yes, the laces allow for a customizable fit, ensuring the shoe stays secure on the child's foot during movement.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the shoe on a high instep
Loosen the laces significantly before entry; consider using an elastic lace system for easier access.
Scuff marks on the sculpted midsole
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently rub out scuffs on the rubberized midsole material.
Pros and Cons

- Stylish Y2K-inspired design

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are children's trainers, they are designed to be easy to put on and remove. Ensure the tongue is fully extended before sliding the child's foot into the shoe to avoid bunching. For sizing, these follow standard UK children's sizing, but it is recommended to check the specific fit as the 9060 series has a more substantial silhouette than minimal footwear. To care for your 9060s, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean the nylon and suede areas with a soft-bristled brush and a mild detergent solution. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or degrading.
