FAQs
Is the New Balance 9060 suitable for gym use?
While the 9060 provides great comfort for daily activities, it is primarily a lifestyle trainer. It is not designed for high-intensity gym training or technical sports.
Does the 9060 run true to size?
Most users find the 9060 runs true to their standard New Balance size, though the chunky build may feel slightly different than thinner models.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the materials used in the 9060 are not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
How do I clean the mesh panels?
Use a soft brush to gently remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a very small amount of mild soap and water, being careful not to soak the fabric.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles in the 9060 are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing on the midsole
This is common with high-cushion foam midsoles. Use a shoe tree when not wearing to help maintain structural integrity.
Midsole appearing dirty
Use a specialized sneaker foam cleaner and a soft sponge to scrub the chunky midsole sections, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the 9060 is designed as a standard lifestyle trainer, no special setup is required. To ensure longevity, keep the following care tips in mind:
- Cleaning: Spot clean the upper with a soft-bristled brush and mild detergent. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent material warping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. If the shoes become damp, stuff them with newspaper or a shoe tree to help them maintain their shape while drying.
- Compatibility: The neutral grey tone pairs well with denim, technical joggers, or relaxed-fit trousers.
