FAQs

Are the New Balance 9060 trainers good for running?

The 9060 features advanced cushioning like ABZORB and SBS, making them comfortable for walking and general wear. However, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and may not offer the specific support or features required for high-performance running.

What does 'Y2K-inspired' mean for the design?

It refers to a design aesthetic influenced by technology and fashion trends from the late 1990s and early 2000s, characterized by visible tech elements, bold proportions, and a futuristic outlook.

How do I clean the suede material on these trainers?

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For minor marks, use a suede eraser. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always allow suede to air dry.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The 9060 is a unisex model. While it offers good overall comfort, individuals with significantly wide feet may want to try them on or check specific width sizing availability if offered by the retailer.

What is the difference between ABZORB and SBS cushioning?

ABZORB is known for its shock-absorbing properties and resistance to compression set, providing a balance of cushioning and support. SBS (Strobel Board Slip-lasting) is a cushioning technology that enhances comfort and durability.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the trainers offer some protection, the suede material is not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If slightly snug, wear with thin socks initially and allow the materials to mold to your feet over time. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted for a looser fit.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the texture. For stubborn dirt, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth followed by brushing once dry.

Cushioning feels firm initially

The ABZORB and SBS cushioning may require a brief break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to adapt to your foot's shape and gait.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and eye-catching design appealing to fans of Y2K aesthetics.
  • Excellent cushioning and comfort for all-day wear due to ABZORB and SBS.
  • Durable construction with a mix of suede and mesh materials.
  • Versatile for both casual outfits and athletic-inspired looks.

Cons

  • The bold, futuristic design might be polarizing for some.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Suede material can be susceptible to water damage and staining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: The 9060s are designed as unisex trainers, suitable for adult wear. They pair well with a variety of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and athleisure wear. While inspired by performance technology, they are best suited for casual use rather than high-intensity athletic training.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  • Suede Care: Use a suede brush to maintain the nap and remove light dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner.
  • Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
