FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense workouts?
The New Balance 9060 Trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle footwear. While they offer excellent comfort and cushioning for everyday walking and light activities, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic workouts.
How do I determine my correct size?
We recommend referring to the official New Balance sizing chart, which can usually be found on the product page or New Balance's website. If possible, try them on in-store, or measure your foot length and compare it to the chart.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended, especially due to the suede and mixed materials. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always follow the spot cleaning and air drying methods outlined in the care section.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper features a combination of materials, primarily suede and mesh. This blend provides both durability, breathability, and a distinctive aesthetic.
What makes ABZORB and SBS cushioning special?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary foam material that offers superior shock absorption and compression resistance. SBS cushioning is a stable foam compound that works in conjunction with ABZORB to provide additional stability and impact protection, enhancing overall comfort.
Are these trainers water-resistant?
These trainers are not inherently water-resistant, especially due to the mesh and suede components. Water can stain suede and soak through mesh. We recommend applying a protective spray designed for mixed-material footwear if you anticipate exposure to wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
My trainers feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the laces for a looser fit. If discomfort persists, consider using thinner socks or consulting a footwear specialist.
Suede parts are looking dirty or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid scrubbing aggressively.
The mesh upper is stained.
Mix a small amount of mild detergent with water. Using a soft cloth or brush, gently scrub the stained area. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and air dry. Do not use harsh chemicals.
My trainers have an odor.
Remove insoles and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers and let it sit overnight, then shake it out. Using moisture-wicking socks can also help prevent odor buildup.
The sole seems to be losing its cushioning effect.
While ABZORB and SBS cushioning are durable, all foam materials eventually compress over time. Ensure you are not using them for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., intensive sports). If they are relatively new, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no special 'setup' beyond lacing them to your comfort. They are designed for adults and compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual clothing styles.
First-Time Wear
When first wearing your 9060 Trainers, ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug yet comfortable fit. Walk around a bit to allow the cushioning to mold slightly to your foot shape. No break-in period is typically required due to the soft cushioning.
Pairing Suggestions
The Slate Grey and Offwhite colorway makes these trainers incredibly versatile. They pair well with:
- Jeans: Classic denim, whether light or dark wash.
- Chinos/Trousers: For a smart-casual look.
- Shorts: During warmer weather, for a relaxed style.
- Athleisure Wear: Joggers and hoodies for a comfortable, contemporary outfit.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 9060 Trainers, especially given the suede components.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a soft brush (a dedicated suede brush for suede parts) to gently brush away debris.
- Suede Care: For stubborn marks on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid excessive moisture on suede.
- Mesh Cleaning: For the mesh sections, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Gently wipe the affected area, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-repellent spray designed for mixed-material footwear (ensure it's safe for suede and mesh) before initial wear and periodically thereafter.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
