FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard children's sizing guidelines, but it is always best to measure the child's foot before purchasing.
Can these be machine washed?
Machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the structural integrity and adhesives of the shoe.
Are these suitable for running?
While durable and comfortable, they are designed as fashion-forward lifestyle trainers rather than dedicated high-performance running shoes.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper uses a combination of layered synthetic and mesh materials to balance durability and breathability.
Are they unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 series is designed as a unisex model suitable for all children.
How do I maintain the shape of the midsole?
Avoid storing the shoes in compressed areas and keep them away from extreme heat sources to prevent the midsole foam from degrading.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially
Wear the shoes indoors for short periods to allow the materials to flex and conform to the foot.
Difficulty keeping the shoes clean
Use a water-repellent spray suitable for synthetic and mesh materials to protect against future stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for the New Balance 9060, it is recommended to keep them clean and dry. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or dirt from the upper materials. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials or damage the adhesive bonds. Check the laces regularly to ensure a secure fit and prevent tripping hazards.
