FAQs
What does the 'Eclipse' in the name refer to?
The 'Eclipse' likely refers to the contrasting colorway and the dark, sleek aesthetic of this particular iteration of the 9060 model.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 9060 features advanced cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the mesh and suede parts?
Use a suede brush for suede and a damp cloth with mild soap for the mesh. Always air dry and avoid machine washing.
What is the main difference between the 9060 and other New Balance series?
The 9060 is a newer silhouette that reinterprets design elements from the iconic 99X series with a focus on a hybrid, futuristic aesthetic and enhanced cushioning.
What does the dual-density midsole offer?
The dual-density midsole combines ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies to provide a balanced feel of softness and support, improving comfort and stability.
What does the 'N' logo signify?
The 'N' logo is a signature New Balance branding element. On the 9060 Eclipse, the lateral 'N' features a distinct silver white outline, while the medial 'N' has a glossy midnight blue embroidered finish.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the suede and mesh offer some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles to preserve the materials.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears scuffed or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaning guide or product.
Laces are difficult to tie or come undone
Ensure laces are threaded evenly through the eyelets. Try a different lacing technique or a double knot for a more secure fit.
Midsole feels stiff after initial wear
The ABZORB and SBS cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
