Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The New Balance 9060 features a traditional lace closure for a secure and adjustable fit.
- Unlacing: Loosen laces fully before putting the shoe on to ensure easy entry for the foot.
- Inserting Foot: Guide the foot into the shoe, ensuring the heel sits comfortably against the back.
- Lacing: Begin tightening laces from the bottom eyelets, working your way up. Adjust tension evenly to achieve a snug, supportive fit without being too tight.
- Tying: Secure with a double knot for active use to prevent untying.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for kids (grade school age group) and are unisex, making them suitable for all children. The UK 6.5 size typically fits older children or younger teenagers, depending on foot growth. They are ideal for everyday casual wear and light recreational activities.
Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 9060 shoes:
- Regular Cleaning: For daily dirt, gently wipe the mesh and suede with a soft, dry brush.
- Spot Cleaning: For tougher marks, use a specialized suede cleaner for the pigskin suede sections and a mild detergent with a soft cloth for the mesh, being careful not to oversaturate the material. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the shoe's structure and materials.
