FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is highly recommended to avoid machine washing as the water and agitation can damage the suede and leather components.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Yes, New Balance 9060 generally follows standard UK children's sizing, but it is always recommended to measure the foot to ensure comfort.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is crafted from a combination of high-quality leather and suede, providing both durability and style.
Can these be used for running?
While they feature cushioning technology, they are designed primarily as lifestyle and casual trainers rather than technical performance running shoes.
What does the ABZORB cushioning do?
ABZORB is a specialized cushioning foam that absorbs impact, helping to provide extra comfort and support for growing feet.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the suede material
Use a dry suede brush or a clean pencil eraser to gently lift scuffs and restore the nap of the material.
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or swap them for higher-friction laces if they are slipping frequently during movement.
Difficulty putting on the shoes
Ensure the tongue is fully loosened and the laces are sufficiently slackened before insertion to prevent heel collar wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 9060 trainers, keep the following care tips in mind:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede and leather sections. For deeper stains, use a specialized leather cleaner on the leather portions and a suede eraser for the nap of the suede.
- Moisture Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and suede to protect the shoes from the elements.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
- Laces: Regularly check and tighten laces to ensure proper support and prevent the aglets from causing a tripping hazard during active play.
