FAQs

What is Abzorb cushioning?

Abzorb is a New Balance proprietary foam material that offers superior shock absorption and compression resistance, providing enhanced comfort and energy return.

How do I clean the New Balance 9060 Charcoal?

For suede parts, use a soft-bristled brush and a specialized suede cleaner. For mesh, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?

While the 9060 is described as a 'performance shoe' with cushioning, its design is more geared towards a blend of comfort and style for daily wear and light activities, rather than high-impact athletic performance like serious running.

What does 'inspired by the 99X series' mean?

It means the 9060 takes design cues and performance elements from New Balance's classic and highly successful 99X series, updating them with a modern aesthetic and technology while retaining a sense of heritage.

What materials are used in the upper of the shoe?

The upper features a charcoal gray mesh base for breathability, complemented by charcoal suede overlays for structure and support.

When was the New Balance 9060 Charcoal released?

The New Balance 9060 Charcoal was released on July 31, 2024.

Troubleshooting

My suede appears dirty or scuffed.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions, testing on a small area first. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

The shoes feel a bit stiff or uncomfortable initially.

The 9060s may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials and cushioning to adapt to your foot's shape. Ensure you have the correct size.

The white midsole is showing dirt or marks.

Gently wipe the midsole with a damp cloth using a mild soap solution. For stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaner or a magic eraser can be effective. Rinse and wipe clean.

My feet feel hot or sweaty.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks that wick moisture. The mesh upper provides breathability, but proper sock choice is also important for comfort.

Setup: Getting Started with Your 9060s

Simply unbox your New Balance 9060 shoes and try them on. Ensure they fit comfortably, allowing for natural toe movement without slipping at the heel. We recommend wearing them for short periods initially to break them in and allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.

These shoes are highly versatile due to their modern aesthetic and neutral charcoal color scheme. They pair well with:

  • Casual Attire: Jeans, chinos, shorts, and t-shirts for an everyday look.

  • Smart Casual: Can be dressed up with tailored trousers or casual dresses for a contemporary edge.

Care: Maintaining Your New Balance 9060

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your shoes, especially given the suede material.

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs, use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) to gently remove loose debris.
  2. Suede Cleaning: For tougher stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Mesh Cleaning: For the mesh sections, a mild soap solution with a soft cloth or brush can be used. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
  5. Protection: Consider using a suede and fabric protector spray to help repel water and stains.
  6. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
