Troubleshooting
Shoes appear dirty quickly after play.
Regularly brush off loose dirt after use. For tougher spots, use a mild soap and water solution on a soft cloth for mesh and synthetic areas, and a suede brush for suede parts. Consistent light cleaning prevents deep-seated stains.
Child complains of feet feeling hot or sweaty.
Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks, preferably made of moisture-wicking material. Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. The shoes are designed with breathable mesh, but proper sock choice and airing can significantly enhance comfort.
Sole grip seems to be less effective on certain surfaces.
Check the outsole for any embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the patterned rubber outsole regularly with a brush and water to ensure maximum traction. Note that extremely slick or wet surfaces can still pose a slipping risk regardless of shoe grip.

Care Instructions
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 9060 shoes:
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently brush off loose debris using a soft brush. For surface stains, mix a small amount of mild soap with cool water. Dampen a clean cloth with the solution and gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid saturating the shoes.
- Suede Areas: Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry cloth to gently clean suede sections. For stubborn stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Do not use excessive water or harsh cleaners on suede.
- Mesh/Synthetic Areas: These areas can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Allow them to air dry completely.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air out. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry your New Balance 9060 shoes, as this can damage the materials and construction.
