FAQs
Is the New Balance 9060 suitable for running?
While it features excellent cushioning, the 9060 is designed as a lifestyle trainer. It is great for casual play and walking but is not a dedicated high-performance racing shoe.
What material is the upper made of?
This specific version features a durable polyester construction designed to be lightweight and resilient for kids.
How do I ensure the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest and ensure about 1cm of room for growth.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 is designed as a unisex model suitable for all kids.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is strongly advised against machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity and cushioning properties of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot the laces or replace them with slightly textured flat laces for better grip.
Midsole looks scuffed after play
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water to gently buff out marks on the sculpted foam.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are standard lace-up trainers, ensure a proper fit by checking for a thumb's width of space at the toe. The 9060 typically fits true to size, but children with wider feet may benefit from testing with their preferred socks. To maintain the polyester and composite upper, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the specialized midsole cushioning and adhesive bonds. Air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the shape.
