FAQs

What makes the 9060's design unique?

The 9060 features a Y2K-inspired aesthetic, blending classic 99X elements with futuristic visible technology, warped proportions, and a sculpted pod midsole.

How do the ABZORB and SBS cushioning work?

ABZORB absorbs impact, while SBS (Shellback System) offers heel stability and shock absorption. Together, they provide enhanced comfort and support for all-day wear.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The 9060 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering excellent comfort for walking and standing. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact running activities.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dry suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the texture. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid getting the suede wet.

What is the weight of the New Balance 9060 Trainers?

The trainers weigh approximately 432.4 grams.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the mesh offers some breathability, the suede material is not water-resistant. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

What does 'dual-density midsole' mean?

It means the midsole is constructed with two different densities of foam to provide specific levels of cushioning and support in different areas, enhancing overall comfort and stability.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Mesh area needs cleaning

Dampen a soft cloth with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the mesh. Avoid soaking the shoe. Air dry completely away from heat sources.

Fit feels slightly tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider seeking professional advice on shoe stretching.

Midsole feels stiff initially

This is normal as the cushioning technologies adapt to your foot. Wear the shoes for several short periods to allow the midsole to soften and conform to your stride.
