Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 9060 Eclipse is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear. While it offers excellent cushioning for walking and everyday comfort, it is not specifically engineered for running or intense athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
To clean the suede, use a dry suede brush to remove dust and debris. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on a small, hidden area first and following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid excessive moisture.
What is the main cushioning technology used?
The shoe features a dual-density midsole incorporating ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies, providing superior shock absorption and comfort.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper consists of a base of black mesh for breathability, overlaid with dark navy blue suede for a premium look and feel.
What does the 'Eclipse' in the name signify?
The 'Eclipse' typically refers to the specific colorway and design execution of this particular 9060 model, highlighting its contrasting color palette and unique aesthetic features.
What is the fit like?
The fit can vary by individual. The 9060 silhouette is known for its supportive structure. It's recommended to check sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible, as some users find them to run slightly narrower.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Refer to New Balance's official size chart and consider that suede can stretch slightly over time. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consult with the retailer about exchange options.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner following product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are dirty
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While the cushioning is durable, its effectiveness can decrease with very heavy or prolonged use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for strenuous athletic activities, which can accelerate wear.
