FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they are comfortable for general play and walking, they are designed more as lifestyle trainers than high-performance running shoes.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing for children, but the chunky silhouette may feel slightly more restrictive than mesh-only trainers.
How do I clean the black upper?
A soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth is best. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals that could fade the black pigment.
Is the midsole durable?
The signature 9060 midsole is made from high-density materials designed to withstand daily wear and tear.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 in black is designed to be a unisex trainer suitable for any child.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight
The layered upper design is structured; try loosening the laces significantly or wearing thinner socks to improve fit.
Midsole shows scuff marks
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with gentle soap to buff out marks from the matte-finish rubber midsole.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure they are double-knotted or replaced with textured laces that provide more grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 9060 trainers stay in peak condition, follow these steps:
- Fit Check: Ensure the size is correct using UK child sizing; the layered construction provides a snug, secure fit around the midfoot.
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt. For the midsole, use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap to maintain the black finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material degradation.
- Air Out: Remove the insoles occasionally to allow moisture to evaporate after a long day of use.
