FAQs

What age group is the New Balance 9060 designed for?

The New Balance 9060 trainers featured are specifically designed for kids, with the product information indicating it is available for the 'kids' age group and includes children's UK sizing.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

To clean the suede, use a soft suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While the 9060 offers excellent cushioning and support for everyday activities and light play, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. For high-impact or specialized sports, dedicated athletic footwear is recommended.

What does the Y2K-inspired design mean?

The Y2K-inspired design refers to a fashion aesthetic popular around the year 2000, characterized by futuristic elements, bold lines, and a visually overt tech look. The 9060 incorporates these elements through its warped proportions and visible design features.

How do the ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies work?

ABZORB is a New Balance technology that absorbs heel and forefoot shock, providing cushioning and preventing impact. SBS (New Balance's proprietary foam) also offers responsive cushioning and stability to the midsole.

Can these trainers be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, these trainers have a unisex design, making them suitable for children of any gender.

What is the primary material used in these trainers?

The trainers are made with a combination of suede and leather, providing both durability and a premium look.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. Consider double-knotting the laces for a more secure fit, or explore alternative lacing techniques if persistent issues occur.

Sizing feels slightly off

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for children's footwear and ensure accurate foot measurements. Consider the type of socks typically worn with the trainers when assessing fit.
