FAQs

Are the New Balance 9060 Trainers suitable for running?

The 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. While they offer excellent cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running like dedicated running shoes.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance and measure your foot length. The trainers feature a lace-up closure, allowing for some adjustment, but a proper initial fit is crucial for comfort.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The trainers can handle light moisture, but they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion is not recommended, especially for the suede components.

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

It refers to a design aesthetic influenced by the early 2000s, characterized by bold shapes, visible technology elements, and a futuristic outlook. The 9060 incorporates these elements into its silhouette and detailing.

How should I store my 9060 trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or a breathable bag to protect them from dust and light. Avoid storing them in humid environments or direct sunlight.

What is the difference between ABZORB and SBS cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance technology that provides shock absorption and cushioning. SBS (Strobel Board System) refers to a method of attaching the upper to the midsole, often contributing to overall comfort and flexibility. The dual-density midsole combines these for enhanced performance.

Are these trainers available in other colors?

The New Balance 9060 series is available in various colorways. This guide specifically details the Grey colorway with secondary Brown accents. Please check product listings for other available options.

Troubleshooting

Reduced cushioning or comfort

Ensure the laces are properly tightened for optimal support. The midsole cushioning is designed for longevity, but prolonged heavy use may eventually reduce its responsiveness.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be used gently. Protect suede with a waterproofing spray before wear.

Traction is reduced on slick surfaces

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any embedded debris. Ensure the diamond pattern is not excessively worn down. The tread is designed for general traction; use caution on very wet or icy surfaces.

Fit feels too snug or loose

Adjust the lacing system. Experiment with different lacing techniques or tension levels. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The New Balance 9060 Trainers require no complex setup. Upon receiving your trainers, simply lace them up using the traditional lace-up closure to achieve your desired fit.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic apparel. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Mesh: Gently clean the mesh areas with a soft brush or cloth and a mild soap-and-water solution. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
  • Cleaning the Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water on suede if possible.
  • Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down the rubber sole and sculpted midsole with a damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, to preserve the materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
