Care Instructions
To keep your New Balance 9060 Trainers looking their best, consistent care is recommended, especially for the suede and mesh materials:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust from the suede and mesh areas using a soft-bristled shoe brush or suede brush after each wear.
- Spot Cleaning for Suede: For minor marks on suede, use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub away blemishes. For deeper stains, apply a small amount of dedicated suede cleaner to a clean cloth and dab the affected area. Always follow the cleaner's instructions and test on an inconspicuous spot first.
- Spot Cleaning for Mesh & Leather: For mesh uppers and leather overlays, create a mild soap solution (e.g., a few drops of dish soap in water). Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe down dirty areas. Avoid saturating the material.
- Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight) which can damage materials or cause fading. Stuffing the trainers with paper towels or newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray designed for suede and textile footwear. This can help protect against spills and make future cleaning easier. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and prolonged exposure to light.
