FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they provide excellent cushioning for play and daily wear, they are lifestyle trainers rather than dedicated high-performance track spikes.
Do the 9060s run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard New Balance sizing, but the sculpted design can feel slightly more snug than other models.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as high heat and agitation can damage the materials and glue.
What is the primary difference between the 9060 and the 990?
The 9060 is a modern, 'warped' reinterpretation of the 990, featuring more exaggerated proportions and a futuristic Y2K aesthetic.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, most New Balance kids' trainers come with removable insoles, allowing you to insert orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight over the bridge of the foot
Adjust the tension of the laces, focusing on loosening the eyelets closer to the toe box to provide more volume.
Dirt stuck in the grooves of the sculpted midsole
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently dislodge debris from the textured crevices of the sole.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are double-knotted or switch to a high-friction lace if the standard ones slip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come ready to wear with standard lacing systems that allow for a customized, secure fit. To ensure compatibility with your child's growth, measure their feet regularly as the 9060 has a structured fit. To keep the shoes in optimal condition, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, remove surface dirt using a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. For suede or mixed-material versions, use a specialized brush to maintain the nap of the fabric. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the foam midsoles and affect the integrity of the adhesive.
