FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean them with a damp cloth to maintain the integrity of the shock-absorbing materials.
Does the 9060 provide good arch support for infants?
The integrated ABZORB and SBS platform provides balanced support, but these are lifestyle shoes rather than clinical orthopedic footwear.
What is the inspiration behind the 9060 design?
The design is inspired by the proud futuristic tech aesthetic of the Y2K era, reinterpreting elements from the classic 99X series.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The 9060 has a structured design; while it offers good volume, it is a standard width fit. If your infant has very wide feet, you may want to ensure the laces are adjusted properly.
What material is the upper made of?
The infant 9060 features a polyester upper which is lightweight and durable for everyday casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the shoe onto the foot
Loosen the laces or closures fully before inserting the foot to ensure the tongue provides maximum entry space.
Scuff marks on the midsole
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a magic sponge dampened with water to gently buff away marks from the sculpted areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 9060 infant trainers last as long as possible, follow these care guidelines.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild detergent to spot clean the polyester upper. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as this can warp the sculpted midsole and damage the ABZORB cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the material from discolouring or accumulating dust.
- Fit Check: Since infants grow quickly, check the heel fit regularly to ensure the shoes remain comfortable and supportive.
