FAQs
What age group is the New Balance 9060 designed for?
The New Balance 9060 trainers are available in sizes suitable for both kids and toddlers, featuring designs adapted for younger feet.
How do I clean the leather and suede parts of the trainers?
Gently wipe leather with a damp cloth. Use a dry suede brush for suede areas. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution or specialized cleaners suitable for leather and suede, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always air dry.
Are these trainers good for athletic activities?
While the 9060 offers good cushioning and some stability, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and fashion trainers. For intense athletic training, specialized sports shoes might be more appropriate.
What does the Y2K-inspired aesthetic mean?
It refers to a design influence from the late 1990s and early 2000s, characterized by futuristic elements, visible technology, and a bold, often chunky silhouette.
How does the cushioning in the 9060 work?
The trainers utilize New Balance's ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies within a sculpted pod midsole. ABZORB absorbs impact, while SBS provides enhanced cushioning and stability.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and cushioning of the trainers.
What is the benefit of the expanded sway bars?
The expanded sway bars, inspired by the 990 series, are integrated into the upper to provide a visible sense of motion and add an element of support and stability to the shoe's structure.
Troubleshooting
Sizing seems incorrect
Refer to the New Balance sizing guide and measure your child's foot carefully. Consider the specific fit of the 9060 model, which may differ slightly from other styles.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dry suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. For stains, consult a suede cleaner following product instructions.
Child finds shoes uncomfortable
Ensure the correct size is being used and that the laces are adjusted appropriately for a snug but not tight fit. Allow a brief break-in period if necessary.
Sole appears scuffed or worn
Minor scuffs are normal with regular use. For significant wear, consult a shoe repair specialist, though replacement may be more practical for children's footwear.
