FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The 9060 is primarily a lifestyle trainer. While they offer great comfort and support for daily play, they are not intended for high-performance competitive sports.
How do I know if the size is correct?
There should be approximately a thumb's width of space between the end of the longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the adhesives and the integrity of the foam cushioning.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the polyester mesh construction is breathable, meaning it is not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.
Does this model provide arch support?
Yes, the sculpted pod midsole provides structural support that aids in overall foot stability.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the shoes on
Ensure the laces are fully loosened and the tongue is pulled forward before inserting the foot, as the padded collar design can be snug.
Midsole appears scuffed
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to buff out minor surface scuffs on the rubberized sections of the midsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 9060 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers follow standard UK children's sizing; ensure you measure your child's foot with a slight margin for growth.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh and synthetic overlays. For deeper stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water on a clean cloth, dabbing the affected area gently.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can warp the sculpted midsole and damage the cushioning platforms.
- Storage: Keep in a dry, well-ventilated space to prevent moisture buildup in the padding.
