FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 suitable for running?
While they offer excellent cushioning for daily wear and light jogs, the 9060s are primarily lifestyle trainers and not designed for high-impact running. For dedicated running, consider specialized running shoes.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a suede cleaning kit. Avoid water, as it can stain and damage the suede.
What does 'dual-density midsole' mean?
A dual-density midsole uses two different types of foam or materials with varying firmness. This typically means a softer foam for cushioning and a firmer foam for stability and support.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. The suede overlays can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the inspiration behind the 9060 series?
The 9060 series is inspired by the Y2K era's visible tech aesthetic and reinterprets familiar elements from New Balance's classic 99X models with a futuristic, warped sensibility.
How do the ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies work together?
ABZORB provides excellent shock absorption, while SBS (Shop-Through-Sole) offers enhanced cushioning and stability. Together, they deliver a comfortable and supportive experience for all-day wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede looking dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or cleaner may be necessary. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on the shoes. If still tight, consider wearing thinner socks or checking if the size is appropriate for your foot width.
Midsole scuffs or marks
Gently clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be effective, but use with caution to avoid damaging the finish.
Mesh material appears worn
Avoid excessive friction or abrasive cleaning. Gentle spot cleaning is recommended. Ensure proper fit to prevent rubbing against other materials.
