FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 suitable for running?
The New Balance 9060 is designed for casual wear and light athletic activities like walking or very light jogging. While it offers excellent cushioning, it is not engineered as a dedicated running shoe for intense or long-distance performance.
How do I maintain the grey suede material?
To maintain the suede, use a soft suede brush to remove dirt and dust. For stains, use a reputable suede cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat. Consider using a suede protector spray for added durability and stain resistance.
What does ABZORB midsole technology do?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam cushioning that provides exceptional shock absorption and compression resistance. This technology enhances overall comfort and reduces impact on your feet and joints during wear.
Are New Balance 9060 true to size?
Most users find the New Balance 9060 fits true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend consulting New Balance's official sizing guide or trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit, especially for UK size 8.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The New Balance 9060 features suede and mesh materials, which are not inherently waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended as it can damage the materials and affect the shoe's longevity. A protective spray can offer some resistance.
What is the purpose of the chunky sole design?
The chunky sole design of the 9060 serves both aesthetic and functional purposes. Aesthetically, it provides a contemporary, fashion-forward look inspired by Y2K-era tech design. Functionally, it allows for enhanced cushioning platforms like ABZORB and SBS, contributing to superior comfort and stability.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner designed for footwear, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid scrubbing aggressively, as this can damage the material.
Shoes feel less supportive or comfortable over time.
Check the condition of the insoles. Over time, insoles can compress and lose their cushioning. Replacing them with new, high-quality insoles can significantly restore comfort and support.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
Ensure the shoes are aired out regularly after wear. Remove insoles occasionally to allow them to dry. Using a shoe deodorizer spray or placing baking soda in a sachet inside the shoes overnight can help absorb odors. Avoid wearing them when wet.

Care
- Cleaning: For the suede components, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and scuffs. For more stubborn stains, a dedicated suede cleaner should be applied following the product's instructions. The mesh areas can be cleaned with a soft brush, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the shoe's premium surfaces.
- Drying: After cleaning, always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally. Keep them away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) to prevent material shrinkage, warping, or discoloration.
- Storage: Store your New Balance 9060 in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the shoe over time and absorb moisture.
