FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
While inspired by performance models, the New Balance 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. Its Abzorb cushioning provides excellent comfort for walking and everyday wear, but it is not intended for rigorous athletic activities or intense running.
How do I protect the suede from water damage?
It's highly recommended to treat the suede with a waterproof spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear and reapply periodically. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is Abzorb cushioning?
Abzorb is a New Balance proprietary foam cushioning technology that offers superior shock absorption and energy return, providing enhanced comfort and a responsive feel underfoot.
Are there other sizes available?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 Charcoal is available in a range of adult UK sizes. Please check the product page for current stock and available variants.
How should I clean the white and cream midsole?
For the midsole, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to gently scrub away dirt and scuffs. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.
Is the fit true to size?
New Balance shoes are generally known for a consistent fit. This model is a UK 8 for adult males. If you're unsure, it's often recommended to try them on or consult a New Balance size guide.
Can these shoes be worn in all seasons?
The suede material makes them less ideal for very wet or snowy conditions. They are best suited for dry weather, comfortable in spring, summer, and fall.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction.
Shoes feel a bit stiff during first wear.
The Abzorb cushioning and upper materials may need a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.
Noticeable dirt or scuffs on the charcoal suede.

Care & Maintenance
Given the suede material, proper care is essential to maintain the shoe's appearance and longevity:
- Water and Stain Protection: Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against moisture and stains.
- Cleaning Suede: For dirt or scuffs, use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush away debris. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Cleaning Mesh: For the mesh sections, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently wipe the affected areas.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never put suede shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as this can cause irreversible damage to the material and structure.
