FAQs

What is `Abzorb` cushioning?

`Abzorb` is a New Balance proprietary foam cushioning material designed to absorb impact through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, providing enhanced comfort and energy return.

How do the 9060s fit compared to other New Balance models?

The New Balance 9060 typically fits true to size for most individuals. However, due to its chunky design, some may find it has a slightly roomier feel. It's always recommended to try them on if possible or consult New Balance's official sizing guide.

Can I wear these shoes for running or intense athletic activities?

While the New Balance 9060 is described as a 'performance shoe' with `Abzorb cushioning`, its design is primarily geared towards lifestyle and casual wear, drawing inspiration from athletic heritage. For dedicated running or intense sports, specialized New Balance running shoes would be more appropriate.

What materials are used in the New Balance 9060 Charcoal?

The shoe features a charcoal grey mesh base with charcoal suede overlays, providing a blend of breathability and durable support.

How often should I clean the shoes?

Regular light cleaning after each wear can help maintain their appearance. A more thorough cleaning, especially of the suede, should be done as needed to address dirt or stains, following the care instructions provided.

Is the chunky sole heavy?

Despite its chunky appearance, the midsole is designed to provide cushioning without excessive weight. New Balance balances supportive design with wearability.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty.

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.

Shoes feel less comfortable over time.

While `Abzorb cushioning` is durable, regularly cleaning the shoes and ensuring proper care can help maintain their structural integrity. Also, check if the insoles need replacement or if a different lacing technique could improve fit.

Shoes appear discolored or stained.

Act quickly on stains. For mesh, use a mild soap and water solution. For suede, use a specialized suede stain remover. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage materials.
