Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 9060 trainers are designed for fashion-forward adults who value a blend of heritage-inspired aesthetics and modern cushioning technology. These trainers provide exceptional underfoot comfort thanks to integrated ABZORB and SBS platforms, making them ideal for all-day wear, though the exaggerated, Y2K-inspired silhouette may feel bulky to those who prefer minimalist, low-profile footwear.

FAQs
Are New Balance 9060 trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, because of the extra padding in the collar, some users prefer a half-size up for a roomier fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to avoid machine washing as it can damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the midsole.
What is the primary difference between ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB is designed for impact absorption, while SBS adds additional energy return and comfort, providing a well-rounded feel.
Are these suitable for intense athletic running?
While they provide great comfort and support, they are primarily categorized as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance running shoes.
How do I maintain the brown colour of the suede?
Keep them away from direct sunlight and use a suede-specific renovator spray if the colour begins to fade over time.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a dry suede eraser or soft brush to gently lift the dirt in the direction of the grain.
Foot feels too tight
Adjust the lacing system to loosen the tension over the instep, allowing the padded tongue to sit more comfortably.
Suede looks matted or flat
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 9060 trainers stay in peak condition, proper care is essential, especially given the suede upper.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dust and debris. For deeper stains, use a suede-safe cleaner and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the brown colourway.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede before the first use to build a protective barrier against the elements.
- Fit: The shoes feature a standard lace-up closure. Ensure laces are tied securely but not overtightened, as the padded tongue and collar are designed to provide a snug fit without requiring extreme tension.
