FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The New Balance 9060 typically comes in a standard width. While the design offers some flexibility, if your child has significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or consult New Balance's specific width sizing options if available for this model.
What is the primary material of these trainers?
These trainers are primarily constructed with a combination of leather and suede, offering both durability and a distinct aesthetic.
How do I clean the leather parts of the trainers?
Wipe the leather sections with a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a small amount of mild soap mixed with water can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, these trainers should not be machine washed or put in a tumble dryer. Machine washing can damage the materials and the structural integrity of the shoe. Always use spot cleaning and air drying methods.
What does the Y2K-inspired aesthetic mean for the design?
The Y2K-inspired aesthetic refers to design elements popular around the year 2000, characterized by futuristic looks, visible technology, and bold proportions, which are reflected in the unique lines and sculpted midsole of the 9060 model.
How does the ABZORB and SBS cushioning work?
ABZORB technology provides cushioning and absorbs impact, while SBS (Shy-Blue Shoe) foam offers heel support and stability. Together, they provide a comfortable and supportive experience for active feet.
What age group are these trainers intended for?
These specific trainers are described as being for 'kids,' including toddler sizes, meaning they are designed for young children who are active and developing their walking and running skills.
Troubleshooting
Sizing seems incorrect
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for children's footwear. Ensure the foot is measured accurately, from heel to longest toe, and compare with the UK size guide. Consider the 'width' if applicable for a better fit.
Dirt on suede material
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt or scuffs. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth may be used, followed by brushing once dry.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
While the ABZORB and SBS cushioning is designed for durability, prolonged heavy use can reduce its effectiveness. Ensure the shoes are not used for inappropriate activities (e.g., intense sports not designed for trainers).
Color transfer from shoes
In rare cases, darker colors might transfer, especially when new and wet. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing them with lighter-colored socks or trousers. Treat with a protective spray designed for leather and suede if concerned.
