FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they are comfortable and feature advanced cushioning, they are lifestyle trainers designed for daily wear rather than dedicated athletic performance running.
Do the 9060s run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard New Balance sizing, but it is always best to measure your child's foot using a Brannock device or size chart.
How do I clean the suede elements?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. Avoid getting the suede overly wet to prevent staining or discoloration.
Is the sole non-marking?
Most New Balance lifestyle trainers feature rubber outsoles that are suitable for indoor gym floors, though you should check the bottom for any embedded debris before heading indoors.
Are they easy for children to put on?
The 9060 uses a traditional lace-up closure. If your child struggles with laces, you may consider swapping them for elasticated no-tie laces.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Use a double knot or replace with slightly longer laces if the current ones are too short for a secure hold.
Midsole scuff marks
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff out marks on the sculpted rubber sections.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Distinctive, fashion-forward futuristic design
- High-quality cushioning technology for growing feet
- Durable construction suitable for active kids
- Unisex aesthetic fits a variety of styles
Cons
- Sculpted midsole can be harder to clean than flat designs
- Bold silhouette may feel bulkier than traditional running shoes
- Requires proper sizing due to the unique construction
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the laces are adjusted to accommodate the child's foot width without over-tightening. As these trainers often utilize suede or mixed materials, spot cleaning with a soft brush or a mild detergent is recommended to maintain the texture of the upper. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the structural integrity of the sculpted midsole and the integrity of the adhesive bonds.
