FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 suitable for running?
The New Balance 9060 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer, featuring advanced cushioning for comfort. While suitable for light activity, they are not optimized for high-impact activities like serious running, which typically require specialized running shoes.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or consult with a retailer. Measure your foot length and compare it with the provided conversion chart for accurate sizing. Remember, these are unisex, so consider if you prefer a snugger or roomier fit.
Can I wash the New Balance 9060 in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede material, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoe.
What is the main inspiration behind the 9060 design?
The design is inspired by the iconic 99X series and incorporates elements of the Y2K era's visible tech aesthetic, featuring exaggerated proportions and a focus on cushioning.
How does the cushioning in the 9060 compare to other New Balance models?
The 9060 utilizes ABZORB and SBS cushioning, which are known for providing excellent shock absorption and comfort. This combination is intended to offer a superior underfoot feel compared to many standard lifestyle trainers.
Is the suede material waterproof?
Suede is not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.
What does 'MPN' stand for?
MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number, which is a unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer to a specific product.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
This is normal for new suede trainers. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in, allowing the materials to conform to your foot shape.
Suede color transfer to socks
This can sometimes occur with new, darker suede. It's recommended to wear darker socks initially or lightly treat the inside with a suede protector spray (test in an inconspicuous area first).
Shoe appears bulkier than expected
The 9060 model features intentionally scaled-up proportions and a sculpted midsole. This is part of the design aesthetic. Ensure the fit is correct; a proper fit will mitigate excessive bulkiness.
Difficulty cleaning a specific stain on suede
For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a fine-grit sandpaper (used very gently) after brushing. Follow up with a suede cleaner if necessary.
