FAQs

What activities are the New Balance 9060 (Black Leather) suitable for?

These shoes are primarily designed for casual wear, daily activities, and athleisure styling. While comfortable, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic training.

How do I care for the leather and suede materials on these shoes?

For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. For leather, a damp cloth can wipe away marks. For suede, use a suede brush to restore the nap and a specialized cleaner for stains. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Are these shoes true to size?

New Balance shoes generally fit true to size. However, individual foot shapes vary. It is recommended to try them on or refer to a New Balance sizing guide for the most accurate fit.

What cushioning technology does the 9060 feature?

The New Balance 9060 incorporates a stacked ABZORB midsole and SBS cushioning platforms, designed to provide superior impact absorption and lasting comfort.

What makes the design of the 9060 unique?

The 9060 uniquely blends elements from the classic 990 and 860 series with a 'warped sensibility' inspired by the Y2K era. It features expanded sway bars and exaggerated proportions on the midsole, giving it a distinct, futuristic yet retro look.

When was the New Balance 9060 Triple Black Leather originally released?

The New Balance 9060 Triple Black Leather was originally released on September 24th, 2023.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the materials, especially the suede. Consider applying a water-resistant spray for added protection.

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel stiff and uncomfortable initially.

The New Balance 9060, especially with its premium materials, may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot.

The leather or suede parts are showing scuffs/marks.

For light scuffs on leather, a damp cloth can sometimes buff them out. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove marks. For tougher stains, use appropriate leather/suede cleaning products.

My feet feel hot/sweaty despite the mesh.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks that wick moisture. If the problem persists, consider airing out the shoes after each wear and ensuring they are fully dry inside.

The sole seems to be losing grip.

Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear. While designed for durability, heavy use can reduce traction over time. Ensure the treads are clean of dirt and debris, which can also impair grip.

The shoe makes a squeaking sound when I walk.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe, or moisture trapped underneath. Try removing the insoles, cleaning the interior, and ensuring everything is dry before reinserting. A sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can also help.
