How should I clean the suede material on these trainers?

What sizes are available for the New Balance 9060?
The 9060 is available in various adult men's UK sizes, including the specified UK 8.5.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
Due to the suede material, it is not recommended to wear these trainers in wet conditions as it can damage the material and lead to staining.

Troubleshooting
Uneven wear on the sole.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Examine your gait for any irregularities. Significant uneven wear might indicate a need for replacement.
Discomfort after initial wear.
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure socks are appropriate thickness. Check if the lacing is too tight or too loose.
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede eraser for minor marks. For tougher stains, consult a professional suede cleaner or use a specialized suede cleaning kit, following instructions meticulously.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness.
Ensure the midsole is clean. Over time, cushioning naturally degrades; consider replacement if the shoes have seen extensive use.
