FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 true to size?
Generally, New Balance 9060 models run true to size. For the best fit, we recommend referring to New Balance's official size guide and trying them on if possible.
Can I use these shoes for running or sports activities?
The New Balance 9060 is designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, prioritizing comfort and style for everyday wear. While comfortable, it is not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
How do I clean the Grey suede upper?
To clean the suede, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently apply a suede-specific cleaner with a clean cloth, following the product instructions. Always let them air dry naturally.
Are the New Balance 9060 waterproof?
No, the New Balance 9060, particularly with its suede upper, is not waterproof. Suede can be damaged by excessive moisture. We recommend using a water-repellent spray designed for suede if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions.
What is the significance of the 'Y2K aesthetic' in the design?
The 'Y2K aesthetic' refers to design influences from the late 1990s and early 2000s, characterized by a visible tech, futuristic, and often 'warped' or exaggerated look. In the 9060, this translates to bold lines, scaled-up proportions, and a dynamic silhouette that stands out.
What do ABZORB and SBS cushioning do?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary foam blend that provides excellent cushioning and compression resistance. SBS is a non-cellular foam that offers a softer cushioning experience, working together to deliver superior comfort and shock absorption for your feet.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner as directed.
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot. The cushioning system will become more adaptive over time.
Experiencing discomfort after long periods of wear.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider if you require additional arch support or orthotic inserts, which can be compatible with the shoe's design.
Shoes have an odor.
Allow the shoes to air out after each use. Remove insoles if possible and let them dry separately. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets can help absorb odors.

The New Balance 9060 requires no complex setup; simply unbox and wear. These shoes are designed for adults and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. Their unisex design allows them to be styled by anyone. For optimal product longevity and appearance, proper care is essential, especially for the suede material:
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove debris. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using harsh chemicals or scrubbing vigorously.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the suede.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and resist stains. Always test the spray on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store your 9060s in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or machine dry your suede New Balance 9060s, as this will almost certainly damage the material and construction.
