FAQs
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam that provides superior cushioning and compression resistance, absorbing impact forces to enhance comfort during wear.
Is the New Balance 9060 suitable for running?
While rooted in running heritage and featuring performance cushioning, the 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe. Its chunky silhouette and design elements are optimized for everyday comfort and style rather than rigorous athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede on my 9060s?
To clean suede, first use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, applying it sparingly and following the product's instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from heat.
What does 'Y2K aesthetic' refer to in the design?
The Y2K aesthetic in the 9060's design refers to its futuristic and slightly exaggerated elements, such as expanded sway bars and wavy lines, reminiscent of early 2000s tech and fashion trends.
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance 9060s generally fit true to size. However, it is always recommended to refer to a New Balance sizing chart or try them on to ensure the best fit for your specific foot shape.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper of the New Balance 9060 is crafted from a combination of mesh, pig skin suede, and other textile materials, providing both durability and a premium feel.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner as directed and allow to dry naturally.
Foot discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider breaking in the shoes gradually or trying different socks. The shoe is designed for comfort, but individual foot shapes vary.
Sole traction feels reduced.
Check the rubber outsole for any embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the tread patterns with a stiff brush and warm water. If wear is significant, consider professional repair or replacement.
Shoe loses its shape after wear.
Insert shoe trees (preferably cedar) when not wearing the shoes. This helps absorb moisture and maintain the original silhouette, especially for the structured upper.
