FAQs

What are the main materials used in the New Balance 9060 'Arctic Grey'?

The shoes feature an icy grey mesh upper, pigskin suede overlays, and synthetic leather details.

What is the purpose of the ABZORB midsole?

The ABZORB midsole is designed to provide excellent shock absorption and cushioning for enhanced comfort during wear.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 9060 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort for walking and standing. They are not recommended for high-impact running activities.

How should I clean the suede components?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner can be used carefully, or a slightly damp cloth for minor marks. Always allow to air dry.

What does 'pre-distressed' on the midsole mean?

This refers to a design choice where the midsole is made to appear slightly worn or aged, contributing to a vintage aesthetic.

What is the warranty period for New Balance shoes?

New Balance typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific details should be checked with the retailer at the time of purchase.

Can I find this model in other colors?

Yes, the New Balance 9060 series is available in various colorways. Please check with authorized retailers for current availability.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from the sole

This can sometimes occur due to moisture or new materials. Try inserting a powder (like baby powder or cornstarch) between the insole and midsole, or ensure the shoes are completely dry.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and are wearing appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.

Difficulty cleaning suede areas

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Color transfer from shoe to sock

This can happen with new, darker dyed materials. It's often temporary and may reduce with wear. Ensure socks are not excessively light-colored initially.
