FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 9060 provides good support, it is designed primarily as a casual lifestyle trainer rather than a high-performance athletic running shoe.
How do I ensure I pick the right size?
The 9060 typically fits true to size. We recommend measuring the foot in centimeters and comparing it to the official New Balance size chart.
Can these be worn in the rain?
They are suitable for light outdoor use, but the layered material construction is not waterproof and may soak through in heavy rain.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, which can be useful if your child requires custom orthotics.
Do these shoes come with traditional laces?
Yes, these trainers utilize standard laces, allowing for a highly customizable and secure fit for different foot widths.
Troubleshooting
Outer material shows scuffs or light dust
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris before wiping with a damp cloth.
Shoes feel too tight during long wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted properly; loosen the tension throughout the eyelets to allow for natural foot expansion.
Build-up of dirt in the midsole grooves
Use a soft toothbrush dipped in a mild soapy solution to carefully scrub out trapped dirt, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the best out of your New Balance 9060 trainers starts with ensuring the correct size. Since these fit true to size, measure your child's feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest. To maintain the appearance of the black upper, gently wipe down the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove loose dirt. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the delicate adhesive bonds of the layered upper and the structure of the midsole. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping or cracking.
