FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

The New Balance 9060 trainers offer excellent cushioning and support suitable for light workouts, urban exploration, and daily casual wear. For specialized sports, dedicated athletic footwear might be more appropriate, but they perform well for general active use.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that combines cushioning and compression resistance. It helps absorb impact forces, providing a softer landing and a more comfortable stride, propelling you forward with energy.

Can adults wear junior sizes?

Yes, adults with smaller foot sizes can comfortably wear junior-sized trainers. This specific variant, for example, is a UK size 3, which can fit adults who typically wear that size.

How should I clean the mixed material upper?

Always refer to the product label for specific care instructions. For general cleaning, use a soft cloth or brush with a mild shoe cleaner and cold water. For suede parts, a dedicated suede brush and cleaner are recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing.

Do these trainers provide good arch support?

The New Balance 9060 features bulked-up rubber midsole pods and SBS cushioning, which contribute to a supportive platform and overall stability. While not explicitly designed as an orthopedic shoe, they offer good general support for daily activities.

What does 'Y2K inspired design' mean?

The Y2K inspired design refers to the aesthetic trends popular around the year 2000. For the 9060, this translates to a modernised, layered upper with mixed textures and often a slightly 'bulky' yet streamlined silhouette, giving it a nostalgic yet contemporary look.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel uncomfortable or too tight.

Ensure you have the correct size. Check if laces are too tight. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in, as materials may need to mold to your foot shape.

Trainers look dirty or stained.

Refer to the care label for specific cleaning instructions. For general dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap with cold water for spot cleaning. For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush or cleaner. Avoid submerging in water.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Sometimes squeaking can come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of baby powder underneath it. If the sole itself is squeaking, ensure it's dry and free of debris.

Reduced cushioning feel over time.

Cushioning materials can compress with extended use. While ABZORB and SBS are durable, rotating your trainers with other pairs can help prolong their lifespan. Ensure you're not exceeding the shoe's intended use (e.g., heavy-duty sports if they're for casual wear).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort and impact absorption from ABZORB and SBS cushioning.
  • Stylish, modern design with a Y2K aesthetic and versatile greyscale colorway.
  • Durable and supportive construction with bulked-up rubber midsole pods.
  • Suitable for a wide range of activities, from city exploration to light workouts.
  • Unisex design caters to both boys and girls, and smaller-footed adults.

Cons

  • Primarily offered in junior sizing, which may limit options for some adult users.
  • Mixed material upper (leather, textile, suede) may require specific care routines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply lace up your New Balance 9060 Junior Trainers and adjust for a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure laces are tied properly before activity to prevent tripping hazards.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed in junior sizing and are suitable for unisex wear, making them perfect for children. Additionally, adults who wear a UK size 3 (as per this specific variant) can comfortably wear them. The greyscale colorway and modern design ensure they complement a wide range of outfits.

Care

To maintain the quality and appearance of your New Balance 9060 Junior Trainers, always refer to the product label for specific cleaning and care instructions. Generally, spot cleaning with a mild cleaner and soft brush is recommended for mixed material uppers (leather, textile, suede). For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush or cleaner. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, which can damage materials and adhesives. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
