New Balance 9060 Sneaker - Grey - UK 11

The New Balance 9060 is designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker, perfect for everyday wear, urban exploration, and making a fashion statement due to its unique Y2K-inspired design and advanced comfort features.

While inspired by New Balance's running heritage and featuring excellent cushioning (ABZORB & SBS), the 9060 is primarily a fashion-oriented sneaker and not specifically designed for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.

The New Balance 9060 typically runs true to size. It's recommended to select your usual sneaker size. If you're between sizes, consider trying both options or consulting a New Balance size guide if available.

The 9060 features a mixed-material upper, including breathable mesh, durable pigskin, and leather overlays. The midsole incorporates ABZORB and SBS cushioning, and it has a robust rubber outsole.

No, it is strongly advised not to put your 9060 sneakers in a washing machine. The mixed materials, especially suede and pigskin, can be damaged by water saturation and harsh detergents. Always follow the spot cleaning instructions provided in the care section.

The 9060 stands out with its bold, Y2K-inspired design, featuring expanded sway bars for visible motion, a uniquely sculpted pod midsole, and a blend of design elements from New Balance's iconic 990 and 860 series, creating a futuristic yet heritage-rooted aesthetic.

The 9060s, like many new shoes, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to mold to your feet. Ensure your lacing is not too tight.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For liquid stains, use a suede eraser or a very slightly damp cloth with a mild suede cleaner, dabbing carefully. Avoid harsh scrubbing or soaking.

Clean the mesh using a soft brush and a solution of mild soap and water. Gently scrub in small circular motions, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insoles, cleaning both the insole and the shoe's interior, and ensuring they are completely dry before reinserting. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can also help.
