FAQs

Are these New Balance 9060 sneakers suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, with their advanced ABZORB and SBS cushioning, the New Balance 9060 provides excellent comfort and support, making them suitable for all-day wear for active children at school, during play, and for casual outings.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

It is recommended to refer to the official New Balance kids' size guide. Measure your child's foot length and width, and if possible, have them try on the shoes to ensure a comfortable and secure fit with a little room for growth at the toe.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is crafted from a combination of breathable mesh in dark gray and white, along with premium suede overlays in gray and black, providing both durability and a distinctive texture.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers. Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the care section.

What do ABZORB and SBS cushioning do?

ABZORB is a superior blend of foam cushioning and compression set, providing optimal shock absorption. SBS is an additional foam insert that further enhances cushioning, offering excellent comfort and impact protection, especially beneficial for active kids.

Is the bulky design a trend, or does it serve a purpose?

The intentionally bulky design is a core element of the 9060's Y2K-inspired aesthetic, celebrating visible technology and exaggerated proportions. Beyond style, it allows for a more pronounced cushioning system, contributing to enhanced comfort and support.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too bulky or heavy for my child.

The 9060 features an intentionally bulky design as part of its Y2K-inspired aesthetic and to house its advanced cushioning. This is a design feature, not a flaw. Ensure the size is correct; a proper fit can make a difference in how they feel. If they are the correct size, allow your child time to adjust to the unique silhouette and enhanced support.

Suede overlays are getting scuffed or dirty.

Suede is a delicate material that requires specific care. Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and scuffs. For tougher marks, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner can be applied according to the product's instructions. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that can damage the suede's nap.

Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.

Ensure your child's shoes are fully aired out after each wear, especially if worn during active play. Remove the insoles occasionally to allow them to air dry separately. Using odor-absorbing inserts or sachets designed for footwear can also help to prevent and eliminate odors. Avoid storing them in confined, damp spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Sizing: Ensure the correct size by referring to the New Balance kids' size chart. Always have your child try on both shoes with appropriate socks to confirm a comfortable and secure fit, allowing for a small amount of space at the toe.
  2. Initial Wear: Allow your child to wear the sneakers for short periods initially to break them in, though the padded interior often provides immediate comfort.

Compatibility:

  • These New Balance 9060 sneakers are designed for kids (unisex) and are suitable for a wide range of casual activities and daily wear. They pair well with various outfits, from sportswear to casual school attire.

Care:

  1. General Cleaning: Gently brush off any loose dirt or dust with a soft-bristled brush after each use.
  2. Spot Cleaning (Mesh): For mesh areas, use a mild soap (like dish soap) diluted in cool water. Apply with a soft cloth or sponge, gently dabbing the stained area. Avoid saturating the material.
  3. Spot Cleaning (Suede): For suede overlays, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser or dedicated suede cleaner should be used. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Drying: After cleaning, stuff the shoes with paper towels to help them retain their shape and absorb moisture. Air dry them away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as excessive heat can damage materials.
  5. Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction of the sneakers.
