FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

New Balance shoes are generally considered true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. The size for this specific product is UK 10.5.

Can I wear these for running or sports?

While the ABZORB cushioning provides comfort, the New Balance 9060 is designed as a lifestyle sneaker with a fashion-forward aesthetic, not primarily for high-performance running or intense sports. For athletic activities, we recommend dedicated performance footwear.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper of this specific New Balance 9060 variant is crafted from high-quality leather, giving it a premium feel and durable finish. Other variants may feature different materials like suede.

How do I clean the chunky sole?

For the chunky rubber sole, you can use a damp cloth or a soft brush with a mild soap solution to clean dirt and scuffs. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage the material. For hard-to-reach areas, an old toothbrush can be effective.

Is the ABZORB cushioning removable?

The ABZORB midsole is an integrated part of the shoe's sole construction and is not designed to be removed. However, the insole (footbed) inside the shoe may be removable, allowing for custom orthotics if needed.

Are these suitable for winter weather?

While the leather upper offers some protection, these trainers are not specifically designed for harsh winter conditions like heavy snow or ice. For best results, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme wet or icy weather to protect the material and maintain traction.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially. The leather will gradually soften and mold to your feet. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose.

White leather appears dirty or stained easily

Regularly wipe the shoes with a damp cloth after use. For tougher stains, use a specialized white leather cleaner and a soft brush. Consider applying a leather protectant spray before first wear and periodically thereafter.

Squeaking noise when walking

Often caused by friction between insoles and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and dusting the inside of the shoe with baby powder or cornstarch. If the squeak persists, check if the tongue or other leather parts are rubbing against each other and apply a small amount of leather conditioner.

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot or a 'reef knot' variation. Check if the laces are worn; replacing them with new ones can often resolve this.

Care Instructions for White Leather:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and light dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
  2. Spot Treatment: For scuffs or stubborn marks, apply a small amount of white leather cleaner to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  3. Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray specifically designed for white leather to help repel water and stains.
  4. Drying: If wet, allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water.
