Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 9060 for kids is designed for active youngsters who want a blend of modern, bold aesthetics and reliable comfort. This trainer scales down the iconic 9060 silhouette, featuring a distinctively chunky midsole and a sophisticated layered upper that remains lightweight and supportive for daily wear. While the aggressive, architectural design offers a standout look, parents should note that the complex paneling requires regular spot cleaning to maintain the sleek black and grey finish.

Troubleshooting
The trainers feel stiff when new.
Most trainers require a short break-in period. Encourage wearing them for short intervals to allow the materials to flex and conform to the foot.
Laces coming undone frequently.
Ensure a double knot is used. If the issue persists, consider replacing the laces with a slightly textured or longer set to improve grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your New Balance 9060s, follow these care guidelines:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud from the layered panels. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Spot Cleaning: If liquid stains occur, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth to gently dab the affected area.
- Air Drying: Always air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the midsole material.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent color fading of the black and grey materials.
