FAQs
What does '9060' refer to in the shoe's name?
The '9060' designation signifies a specific model within New Balance's lineup, representing a fusion of heritage design elements with contemporary performance technology.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 9060 features advanced cushioning (ABZORB and SBS) suitable for comfort during walking and standing. While they can handle light jogs, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers and may not offer the specialized support or features required for serious running.
How do I clean the mesh and suede parts?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains on suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner. For mesh, a damp cloth with a mild detergent can be used gently. Always allow to air dry.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB and SBS midsole?
The dual-density ABZORB and SBS midsole provides superior shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints, while also offering a responsive and springy feel for enhanced comfort throughout the day.
How does the 9060 differ from other New Balance models?
The 9060 specifically draws inspiration from early 2000s New Balance silhouettes and updates them with modern design language and performance features, resulting in a distinct retro-futuristic aesthetic.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the shoes offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The suede and mesh materials can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to ensure they are properly dried if they get wet.
What sizes are available?
New Balance 9060 models are typically available in a wide range of adult sizes. Specific availability can vary by retailer and colorway.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions.
Laces are difficult to tie securely
Ensure laces are threaded evenly. Try different lacing techniques or replace worn laces.
Cushioning feels stiff initially
The ABZORB and SBS midsole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.
Poor traction on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides good grip, exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the tread is clean.
