FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 trainers true to size?
Yes, most users find that the 9060 series fits true to standard New Balance sizing, though the chunky design may feel slightly more spacious than minimal trainers.
Can I use these for running?
While they offer great comfort, the 9060 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer and is not recommended for dedicated long-distance or high-intensity running.
What is the primary difference between ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB is a superior foam blend that handles impact, while SBS provides enhanced stability and structural support.
How do I best maintain the suede elements?
Use a specialized suede brush or eraser to remove dry dirt. Avoid getting the suede wet, as it can cause discoloration.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 design is widely considered unisex, suitable for any adult looking for this specific style and fit.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh panels
Use a soft brush and a mixture of mild detergent and water, gently dabbing the area until the stain lifts.
Creasing on the upper material
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and reduce natural stress marks.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a proper 'double knot' or use a lace-locking technique to secure them, as the provided laces are designed for lifestyle wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 9060 trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the structural integrity of the mixed-material upper and cushioning units. Instead, spot clean using a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. For the mesh components, use a gentle dabbing motion rather than scrubbing. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the adhesive from weakening. Regularly check for debris in the outsole grooves to maintain optimal traction.
