FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the New Balance 9060 design?
The 9060 draws inspiration from New Balance's iconic 99X series, reinterpreting familiar elements with a Y2K-era aesthetic focused on visible technology and warped proportions.
Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic activities?
The 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe, focusing on comfort and style. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact athletic performance like dedicated running shoes.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, but always test it on a small, inconspicuous area first.
What does 'dual-density midsole' mean for comfort?
A dual-density midsole uses two types of foam with different firmness levels to provide targeted cushioning and support, enhancing overall comfort during extended wear.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed with a combination of breathable mesh and suede overlays, offering both ventilation and a premium look.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 Trainers are designed as a unisex model, suitable for adults regardless of gender.
What is the purpose of the sway bars in the design?
The expanded sway bars, adapted from the 990 model, are integrated into the upper to provide a visible sense of motion and contribute to the shoe's overall stability and aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if the specific fit of the 9060 model suits your foot shape.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted for a secure yet comfortable fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. The dual-density midsole may require a short break-in period.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For persistent dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.
Mesh material seems worn
Avoid harsh scrubbing during cleaning. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to excessive abrasion.
