FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they provide great cushioning and stability, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers rather than high-intensity performance running shoes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the midsole. Always clean by hand.
What does the 9060 series draw inspiration from?
The series is inspired by the visible tech aesthetic of the Y2K era combined with classic design elements from the New Balance 99X collection.
How do I maintain the leather?
Keep the leather dry and clean it regularly with a damp cloth to prevent build-up of dirt.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, the integrated heel support and the stability-focused midsole provide a balanced feel suitable for most children.
What is the primary material used?
These trainers feature high-quality leather in the upper construction for improved durability.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the leather upper
Use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth lightly dampened with water to gently wipe the affected areas.
Reduced comfort or responsiveness
Check the outsole for debris stuck in the sculpted pods and ensure the insole is lying flat inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature a leather upper, proper maintenance is essential to keep them looking new. Use a dry brush to remove loose dirt after outdoor play. For deeper cleaning, wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that could strip the material. To maintain the cushioning performance, ensure the shoes are not kept in extreme heat for long periods, which can degrade the EVA and ABZORB materials. When sizing, note that the 9060 series tends to have a structured fit; ensure there is adequate room in the toe box for natural movement.
