FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the cushioning unit. Stick to hand-cleaning with a soft cloth.
Does the 9060 run true to size?
Yes, generally the 9060 fits true to standard UK youth sizes, though it is always best to measure the foot against a size chart.
Is the 9060 suitable for running?
While durable and comfortable, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers rather than performance-focused running shoes.
What is the primary difference between the 9060 variants?
The main differences lie in material composition (suede vs. polyester) and specific sizing availability for different age groups like infants, toddlers, and older kids.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
While the materials are durable, they are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to protect the suede and maintain the shoe's structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift debris; avoid using water.
Creasing on the upper material
Store with shoe trees or crumpled paper when not in use to help maintain the structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers stay in top condition, proper care is essential. If you own the suede variant, avoid submerging them in water; use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. For the polyester models, a mild detergent and a damp cloth can be used for spot cleaning. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning platforms. When selecting your size, refer to the New Balance youth size guide to ensure a proper fit as sizing across the 9060 series follows standard UK children's sizing conventions.
