FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for infants just learning to walk?
Yes, the ABZORB and SBS cushioning provide excellent support for infants in early stages of walking.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the structural integrity of the midsole.
Are the laces functional?
Yes, the laces allow for a customizable and secure fit on the infant's foot.
What is the inspiration behind the 9060 design?
The design is inspired by the futuristic tech aesthetic of the Y2K era combined with elements of the classic 99X series.
How do I ensure the correct size?
We recommend measuring the child's foot in centimeters and comparing it to the New Balance size chart provided for the UK 6 sizing.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the shoe on a high-instep foot
Loosen the laces or closure system entirely from the bottom eyelets to provide extra room before sliding the foot in.
Leather showing scuff marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft brush to gently buff out superficial scuffs, then apply a leather conditioner if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come ready to wear with standard lace-up or closure systems typical of the 9060 line. For care, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes, as this can damage the leather and the integrity of the ABZORB cushioning materials. If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking or warping.
