FAQs

How do I clean the suede on my New Balance 9060s?

For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution applied sparingly will be most effective. Always let them air dry completely.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?

The New Balance 9060 is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, optimized for all-day comfort and casual wear. While comfortable, it is not engineered for performance running or intense sports activities.

What is the typical fit of the 9060 model?

Most users find the New Balance 9060 to fit true to size. However, individual foot shape can vary, so if you are between sizes, consider trying both or checking specific user reviews for guidance.

Can I wear my 9060s in wet weather?

Due to the suede components, it's not recommended to wear these sneakers in heavy rain or very wet conditions, as suede can be damaged by water. Consider applying a water and stain repellent for light moisture protection.

What kind of outfits pair well with the Slate Grey Arid Stone colorway?

This versatile colorway pairs exceptionally well with a wide range of casual and streetwear outfits. Think denim (jeans, jackets), cargo pants, chinos, shorts, and even some smart-casual looks featuring neutral tones.

Does the chunky midsole provide good arch support?

The chunky midsole of the 9060 is engineered for superior cushioning and comfort, which contributes to overall foot support. While it offers a comfortable ride, individuals requiring specific arch support may consider custom insoles if needed.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Verify your chosen size against New Balance's sizing chart. Adjust lacing for a more snug or relaxed fit. If the issue persists, consider trying a half size up or down.

Unpleasant odor from the interior

Remove insoles and allow them and the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area. Use sneaker deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Squeaking sound when walking

Often caused by friction between the insole and the sole. Remove the insole, sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and replace the insole. Check if the squeak is coming from the sole's exterior on specific surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting started with your New Balance 9060 is as simple as lacing them up. Ensure you choose the correct size for optimal comfort and support. The versatile slate grey and arid stone colorway makes these sneakers highly compatible with a broad spectrum of casual and semi-casual apparel, including denim, chinos, track pants, and shorts.

For care and maintenance, the premium suede and mesh upper requires attention:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede and fabric protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Regularly brush off surface dirt and dust from the suede with a soft-bristled suede brush. For mesh areas, a soft cloth can be used.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For tougher stains on suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a suede eraser. For mesh, a mild soap solution and a soft cloth can gently clean soiled areas.
  4. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials or cause color fading.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your sneakers, as this can severely damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.

Proper care will help preserve their appearance and extend their lifespan, ensuring your 9060s remain a staple in your rotation.
