FAQs
How do I clean the leather on these shoes?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of leather cleaner specifically formulated for shoes, applying it gently with a soft cloth. Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Allow to air dry.
Are these shoes suitable for toddlers learning to walk?
Yes, the New Balance 9060's design, with its ABZORB and SBS cushioning and integrated sway bars, offers good support and stability, which can be beneficial for toddlers developing their walking skills.
What does ABZORB and SBS cushioning mean?
ABZORB is a New Balance foam-based cushioning system that provides excellent shock absorption. SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) is a non-cellular rubber compound that offers additional stable cushioning and bounces back quickly, enhancing comfort and support in the midsole.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather material offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not designed to be fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to water should be avoided to protect the leather and maintain shoe integrity.
What age range is a UK 4 toddler shoe typically for?
A UK size 4 for toddlers generally corresponds to an age range of approximately 12-18 months, though this can vary significantly by individual child's growth. It's always best to measure your child's foot for the most accurate fit.
Can these shoes be worn for all-day play?
Yes, with their advanced cushioning and supportive design, the New Balance 9060 toddler shoes are well-suited for all-day wear and active play, providing comfort and protection for little feet during various activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
First, ensure your toddler is wearing appropriately sized socks. Then, re-evaluate the fit. If still too tight, the shoe might be too small; if too loose, ensure laces or straps are fastened securely. Toddler feet grow quickly, so regular size checks are important.
Difficulty putting the shoes on.
Ensure all laces or straps are fully loosened or opened before attempting to put the shoe on. Gently guide the foot in, making sure the heel slides down completely. If resistance persists, check for proper sizing and ensure the shoe opening is wide enough.
Scuffs or marks appear on the leather.
For light scuffs, gently rub with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper marks, a small amount of specialized leather cleaner (designed for delicate items or shoes) can be applied with a soft cloth, then buffed dry. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Toddler complains of discomfort.
Check the fit, ensuring there's adequate toe room and the shoe isn't too tight anywhere. Look for any debris inside the shoe that might be causing irritation. Also, ensure socks are not bunched up. If discomfort persists, consult with a footwear specialist or pediatrician.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
To ensure a comfortable fit, fully unfasten any laces or straps before sliding your toddler's foot into the shoe. Make sure their heel is seated firmly at the back. Fasten securely, ensuring the shoe is snug but not too tight, allowing for natural foot movement. Always check for proper toe room by pressing down on the front of the shoe to ensure about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Compatibility
These New Balance 9060 shoes are designed as unisex footwear for toddlers in UK size 4. They are compatible with a variety of toddler clothing styles and activity levels, from everyday play to special occasions.
Care
As these shoes are made of leather, gentle care is recommended. Wipe away dirt and scuffs with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a specialized leather cleaner designed for children's shoes can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the leather. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Regular cleaning will help maintain the leather's appearance and prolong the shoe's life.
