FAQs

What is Abzorb cushioning?

Abzorb is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology that provides excellent shock absorption and energy return, offering a comfortable and responsive feel with every step.

How do I clean the New Balance 9060 Charcoal?

For suede parts, use a suede brush and cleaner. For mesh and the midsole, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

While it's described as a 'performance shoe' and offers cushioning, the New Balance 9060 is more designed for comfort, style, and general daily wear rather than dedicated high-performance running.

What does 'chunky midsole' mean?

A chunky midsole refers to a larger, more prominent sole unit that adds to the shoe's aesthetic while often providing enhanced cushioning and a bolder silhouette.

Is the sizing true to fit?

New Balance sizing can vary slightly by model. Generally, the 9060 series tends to fit true to size for most users. It is available in UK size 9 for this specific variant.

What materials are used in the New Balance 9060 Charcoal?

This model features a charcoal gray mesh base for breathability and charcoal suede overlays for support and durability. The midsole is made of a lightweight foam with Abzorb cushioning.

When was this shoe released?

The New Balance 9060 Charcoal was released on July 31, 2024.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to restore nap and gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner according to its instructions.

Shoe feels uncomfortable or too tight

Ensure you have the correct size (this model is UK 9). New shoes may require a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider checking your lacing technique.

Mesh material is discolored or stained

Gently clean the mesh with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing vigorously, which can damage the material.

Squeaking sound when walking

Check if the insole is properly seated or if there's any debris underneath it. Sometimes, new soles can squeak on certain surfaces until broken in. If it persists, try sprinkling a little talcum powder under the insole.
