Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 9060 is a high-performance trainer designed for kids who value both futuristic style and lasting comfort. By blending heritage design elements from the iconic 99X series with Y2K-inspired aesthetics, these sneakers provide a unique look suitable for daily activities or casual wear. While the bold, sculpted proportions make them a standout addition to any wardrobe, the exaggerated midsole design may require a short break-in period for those transitioning from thinner-soled athletic shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 9060 features performance cushioning, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear and walking.
How do I ensure the right fit for my child?
Measure your child's foot length against a standard UK size chart and ensure there is approximately a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics or replace them.
Are the 9060s waterproof?
The materials are not waterproof. We recommend using a sneaker-safe water repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.
What does the 9060 series represent?
The 9060 represents a modern reinterpretation of the classic New Balance 99X series, incorporating futuristic Y2K design sensibilities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too snug after initial wear
Loosen the laces starting from the toe box up to the ankle to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Visible dirt on the grey accents
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soapy water mixture with a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the affected areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your 9060 trainers involves simple maintenance and proper fitting. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug fit across the midfoot without restricting circulation. For cleaning, spot clean the upper material using a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals that may degrade the synthetic fabrics. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the cushioning foam. Check the outsole periodically to clear debris from the sculpted grooves, ensuring optimal grip and traction on indoor and outdoor surfaces.
