FAQs

Are New Balance 9060 trainers suitable for running or sports?

No, the New Balance 9060 trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle and fashion footwear. While they offer excellent comfort for daily wear and walking, they are not engineered for the rigorous demands of running or high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede upper of my 9060 trainers?

To clean the suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth and dab gently, then brush. Always allow them to air dry away from heat. Consider using a suede protector spray regularly.

Do New Balance 9060 trainers run true to size?

Generally, New Balance trainers tend to fit true to size. However, foot shape can vary. We recommend consulting the New Balance size chart and, if possible, trying them on to ensure the best fit for your specific foot.

What kind of cushioning technology is used in the 9060 series?

The 9060 trainers feature New Balance's renowned ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms. These technologies are integrated into the sculpted pod midsole to provide superior shock absorption and responsive comfort for all-day wear.

Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?

Due to the suede upper, it's best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as suede can be easily damaged by water. Applying a water and stain repellent specifically for suede can offer some protection against light moisture.

What does 'Y2K-inspired aesthetic' mean for the design?

The Y2K-inspired aesthetic refers to design influences from the late 1990s and early 2000s, characterized by futuristic, chunky, and visible tech elements. For the 9060, this translates to warped lines, scaled-up proportions, and an overall bold, avant-garde appearance.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap of the material. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning solution.

Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

The trainers may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first, gradually increasing wear time to allow the materials to conform to your feet.

Unpleasant odor developing inside the trainers

Remove insoles and allow trainers to air out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers, cedar inserts, or place baking soda in socks inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Laces frequently come untied

Ensure you are using a proper knotting technique, such as a double knot. You can also replace standard laces with slightly thicker or textured laces for better grip.

Care

Given the suede upper, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your 9060 trainers:

  • Initial Protection: Apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protective spray before first wear to guard against water and stains. Repeat periodically as per product instructions.
  • Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  • Spot Cleaning: For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Apply to a clean cloth, dab the stain, and then brush gently. Avoid rubbing too hard.
  • Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage suede.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your suede trainers. Avoid excessive exposure to water and mud.
