FAQs

Are the New Balance 9060 suitable for running?

The New Balance 9060 is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering excellent comfort and style. While they provide good cushioning for walking and light activities, they are not intended as performance running shoes.

How should I clean the icy grey mesh upper?

For the mesh upper, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently scrub with a soft brush if needed, and then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.

What is the significance of the pre-distressed midsole?

The pre-distressed appearance of the ABZORB midsole is an intentional design choice to give the shoe a vintage, lived-in look, complementing the futuristic silhouette.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the shoes have a rubber outsole for traction, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and suede materials.

What is the difference between ABZORB and SBS cushioning?

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary foam technology designed for shock absorption and cushioning. SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) is a type of cushioning material often used in the heel for enhanced stability and impact protection.

How does the sizing compare to other New Balance models?

New Balance 9060 generally runs true to size for most individuals. However, slight variations can occur. It's recommended to consult the New Balance size chart or try them on if possible.

Are there other colorways available for the 9060 series?

Yes, the New Balance 9060 series is available in a variety of colorways, including blue and other grey variations, catering to different style preferences.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a clean, dry suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously, followed by brushing once dry.

Shoe feels slightly stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Gentle flexing of the shoe manually can also help.

Discoloration on leather or suede

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture. If discoloration occurs, consult specialized leather/suede care products for advice.
