Full details

The New Balance 9060 is designed for individuals who appreciate a sneaker that blends the heritage of New Balance's classic 99X series with a bold, futuristic Y2K aesthetic. Its key win is providing superior comfort through ABZORB and SBS cushioning while making a distinctive style statement. However, its exaggerated design and premium materials, particularly the white suede, mean it requires thoughtful care and might not suit every personal style.

FAQs

Are New Balance 9060 suitable for running?

The New Balance 9060 is primarily designed for lifestyle, comfort, and style rather than high-performance running. While they offer excellent cushioning for daily wear and walking, they are not engineered with the specific support or lightweight characteristics typically found in dedicated running shoes.

How do I best clean the white suede on my 9060s?

For white suede, it's crucial to clean regularly. Use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner to a clean cloth and gently blot the affected area. Allow to air dry, then re-brush the suede to restore its texture. Avoid harsh scrubbing or soaking.

Do the 9060s fit true to size?

Generally, New Balance 9060s are considered to fit true to size for most individuals. However, foot shape can vary. We recommend trying your usual UK shoe size first. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up, especially if you prefer a slightly roomier fit or plan to wear thicker socks.

What kind of outfits pair well with the New Balance 9060?

The 9060's bold, retro-futuristic design makes it ideal for casual and streetwear looks. It pairs excellent with jeans, joggers, cargo pants, shorts, and even adds a stylish edge to casual dresses or skirts. Its 'White' colour offers versatility for many colour palettes.

Are the New Balance 9060s waterproof?

No, the New Balance 9060s are not waterproof. The suede and polyester upper materials are not designed to be water-resistant. Exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the materials, particularly the suede. We recommend using a water and stain repellent spray for added protection in light moisture.

What is ABZORB and SBS cushioning?

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary foam material that provides superior cushioning and compression resistance, absorbing impact effectively. SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) is a non-cellular rubber compound that provides additional stability and dynamic cushioning, working in conjunction with ABZORB to offer a comfortable and responsive ride.

Troubleshooting

White suede appears dirty quickly.

Regularly brush the suede with a specialized suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaning kit. Apply a protective spray designed for suede before initial wear to help repel dirt and water.

Shoes feel too bulky or large on my foot.

While the 9060 features an exaggerated design, ensure your laces are adjusted properly for a snug fit. Trying different sock thicknesses (thinner for more space, thicker for a tighter feel) can also help. Verify you ordered the correct UK size 5.5.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Dirt and debris can reduce traction. Wipe the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any buildup.

My feet feel hot or less breathable.

The shoe's material blend includes suede and polyester. While comfortable, it might feel warmer than shoes made primarily of mesh. Opt for moisture-wicking socks to help manage foot temperature and sweat.

Ensure laces are snug but not too tight, allowing for natural foot movement throughout the day. The padded tongue will help provide a comfortable experience right out of the box.

Compatibility

The New Balance 9060's unique design and 'White' colour family make it highly compatible with a wide range of casual and streetwear outfits. It pairs well with:

  • Skirts and Dresses: To add a sporty, contemporary edge to more feminine attire.
  • Neutral Tones: The white base makes it easy to match with both vibrant and subdued colour palettes.

Care Instructions

To maintain the pristine condition and longevity of your New Balance 9060, especially its white suede and polyester components, follow these care guidelines:

  • General Cleaning: For light dirt and dust, gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush. For polyester sections, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap.
  • Suede Care: For stubborn marks on suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner and protector. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. After cleaning, use a suede brush to restore the nap.
  • Rubber Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove dirt and grime.
  • Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Never put them in a dryer, as heat can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and textile materials before first wear and periodically thereafter.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid: Machine washing, harsh chemicals, and submerging shoes in water, as this can cause damage to the materials and construction.
