FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural adhesives and the ABZORB cushioning. Spot cleaning is recommended.
What does the 9060 series design represent?
The 9060 is a modern reinterpretation of the classic 99X series, blending Y2K tech aesthetics with contemporary comfort.
Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?
They generally follow standard children's sizing, but the chunky silhouette may make them feel slightly more substantial on the foot.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB platform?
ABZORB technology provides superior impact absorption, protecting feet from the shock of walking or running on hard surfaces.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
Yes, the structural design and the sculpted midsole offer good lateral stability and moderate arch support suitable for daily wear.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the materials from fading or becoming brittle.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double knot or replace with slightly textured athletic laces for better grip.
Midsole appears scuffed
Use a specialized rubber midsole cleaner or a white pencil eraser to gently lift scuff marks from the pod components.
Inner lining feeling damp
Remove the insoles to allow airflow and place the shoes in a well-ventilated area after intense activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come with standard lace-up closures for a customizable fit. To ensure the best performance, check that the tongue is centered and the laces are tightened uniformly across the midfoot. For cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud from the sole and wipe the upper with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials over time.
