Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness around the midfoot
Adjust the lace tension by loosening the eyelets near the midsection to allow for more natural foot expansion.
Visible surface dirt on grey mesh
Use a gentle foam cleaner specifically designed for sneakers and a soft cloth; avoid harsh detergents that may cause discolouration.
Heel slipping while walking
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the heel collar against your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 9060 trainers last, keep these care tips in mind. Given the leather and mixed-material construction, it is recommended to clean them with a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt after each use. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the adhesives and material texture. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For sizing, ensure you verify your UK foot size as the structure of the 9060 fits true to standard adult sizing, but allows room for different sock thicknesses due to its padded interior.
