Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 9060 is designed for adult wearers who appreciate a fusion of heritage aesthetics and contemporary, high-performance comfort. By reimagining elements from the classic 99X series through a futuristic Y2K-inspired lens, this trainer offers exceptional impact absorption and a bold, sculpted silhouette. While the shoe provides superior support for daily wear, its exaggerated proportions and unique pod midsole mean it may feel bulkier than traditional streamlined running footwear.

FAQs
Is the New Balance 9060 a running shoe?
While it draws inspiration from performance running models like the 860 and 990, the 9060 is primarily intended as a lifestyle, casual-wear trainer.
How does the sizing run?
The 9060 generally fits true to size, but the structured upper and supportive midsole provide a secure, snug feel around the midfoot.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a specialized foam material designed to absorb impacts by displacing energy away from the foot, providing superior long-term comfort.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, which allows for the use of custom orthotics if required.
Are the shoes suitable for wet weather?
The diamond outsole pattern provides decent traction, but the materials used are not inherently waterproof and may require a protective spray if used in damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the upper material
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize fabric tension.
Difficulty cleaning the sculpted midsole
Use a soft toothbrush dipped in a mixture of water and mild soap to reach into the grooves of the pod midsole.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and consider a double-knot if the round laces tend to slip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 9060s remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the shoes feature a mix of materials, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the structural integrity of the cushioning and the translucent heel components. Instead, clean the upper gently with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt. For stains, use a mild detergent solution with a damp cloth, dabbing the area rather than rubbing. To maintain the shape, use shoe trees when not in use and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
