Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure your child is wearing the correct size. Check if socks are too thick or thin. Loosen or tighten laces appropriately. Remember children's feet grow, so regular size checks are recommended.
Shoes get dirty easily, especially the suede parts.
Regularly brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (especially for suede). For tougher stains, use a cleaner specific to the material type (suede cleaner for suede, mild soap for mesh/synthetic). Always air dry thoroughly.
Soles seem to lose grip or traction.
Check the outsole for accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing grip; clean it with a brush and water. If the sole shows significant wear or damage, it might indicate it's time for new shoes, as worn soles can impact safety and support.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 9060 shoes:
- General Cleaning: For everyday dirt, wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Suede Areas: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner designed for footwear can be used, following product instructions carefully. Avoid excessive water on suede.
- Mesh and Synthetic Leather: These areas can be cleaned with a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth. Gently scrub, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles occasionally to air out the shoes. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda can help absorb odors.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Regular cleaning and appropriate care will help maintain the shoes' aesthetic and functional qualities.
