FAQs

What are the primary materials used in the New Balance 9060 'Arctic Grey'?

The shoe features an icy grey mesh upper, complemented by pigskin suede and synthetic leather overlays.

Is the ABZORB midsole good for running?

The ABZORB midsole is designed for dual-density cushioning and shock absorption, making it excellent for lifestyle wear and comfortable for general activity. However, for specialized high-impact running, dedicated running shoes may offer more specific support and technology.

How should I clean the pre-distressed midsole?

Gently clean the midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this could damage the vintage-inspired finish.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The product description does not specify width options. It's recommended to check the official New Balance sizing guide or try them on if possible to determine fit for wider feet.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and cushioning of the shoe.

What is the main difference between the 9060 and other New Balance series?

The 9060 series is characterized by its blend of retro and futuristic design elements, often featuring bolder silhouettes and advanced cushioning technologies compared to more classic models.

Where can I find other colorways or sizes?

Other colorways and sizes for the New Balance 9060 series can be found through authorized New Balance retailers or the official New Balance website. The 'Arctic Grey' model is one of many variations available.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Leather shows creases or scuffs.

Minor creases are normal with leather. For light scuffs, try a leather conditioner or cleaner. Deeper scuffs may require professional attention or a colored leather restorer if available.

Laces are difficult to keep tied.

Ensure laces are properly threaded and tied with a secure knot. Consider replacing them with different lace materials or styles if they are worn out.

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have purchased the correct size. If the shoe is slightly snug, wearing them for short periods indoors can help break them in. Thick socks can also make the fit feel tighter.
