FAQs

Are the New Balance 9060 Trainers suitable for running?

The 9060 Trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering excellent comfort for everyday activities. They are not specifically engineered for performance running.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of suede and mesh, providing durability, support, and breathability.

How do I determine the correct size?

The trainers are available in UK adult sizes and feature a standard (D) width. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult New Balance's sizing chart for the most accurate fit.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the suede material and overall structure.

What does 'Y2K-inspired' mean in relation to this design?

It refers to a design aesthetic influenced by the late 1990s and early 2000s, characterized by bold lines, exaggerated proportions, and visible technological elements, which are incorporated into the 9060's silhouette.

How often should I clean my 9060 trainers?

The frequency of cleaning depends on usage. For regular wear, a light brushing after use can help maintain appearance. Deep cleaning should be performed as needed when visible dirt or stains appear, following the care instructions.

Is the (D) width suitable for everyone?

The (D) width is considered standard for men and a slightly wider fit for women. If you have very narrow or significantly wide feet, these might not offer the most optimal fit without adjustments.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight.

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if the standard (D) width is suitable for your foot. Break-in period may be required for initial wears.

Suede material appears dirty or stained.

Refer to the care instructions for cleaning suede. Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning effect over time.

Cushioning materials naturally compress with wear. Ensure shoes are not excessively worn and follow care instructions to maintain material integrity. Consider rotating with other footwear.

Laces are difficult to keep tied.

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Check laces for wear; frayed laces may come undone more easily. Consider replacing with new, high-quality laces.

Care:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth, ensuring not to saturate the material. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Cleaning Mesh: Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the mesh areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain grip.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect from dust and maintain shape.
