Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While built with advanced cushioning, the 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer. They offer excellent comfort for everyday wear and walking, but may not be optimized for high-impact athletic activities.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always allow the suede to air dry completely away from heat.
What sizes are available for the New Balance 9060?
The New Balance 9060 is available in a wide range of unisex sizes, including half sizes, to accommodate various foot dimensions.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is generally advised to avoid wearing suede footwear in wet conditions as it can damage the material and affect its appearance. Consider using a suede protector spray for added resistance.
What is the typical fit of the 9060 trainers?

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to New Balance's official size chart for accurate measurements. Consider trying on different sizes if possible, as fit can vary.
Suede is stained or dirty
Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, and always allow to air dry naturally.
Laces are worn or dirty
Replace laces with a similar style and color. Many footwear retailers offer a variety of replacement laces.
Sole feels stiff
New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot.
