How do I clean the suede part of the shoe?

What do ABZORB and SBS cushioning do?
ABZORB and SBS are New Balance cushioning technologies that work together to absorb impact, reduce stress on joints, and provide stable, comfortable support for active feet.
Are these trainers good for sports or just casual wear?
While primarily designed for stylish daily and casual wear, the ABZORB and SBS cushioning provides ample comfort and support for light active play and everyday movement.
Do these shoes run true to size?
New Balance typically runs true to size. For the most accurate fit, we recommend referring to a New Balance size chart and measuring your child's foot.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight
Ensure the correct size is chosen. Check that laces are not tied too tightly, allowing for natural foot flexion. Verify that socks are not bunching up inside the shoe.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure the laces are tied with a double knot. You may also consider different lacing techniques that provide a more secure fit.
Shoes are squeaking when walking
This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing and air-drying the insoles. If the issue persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole might help.

Care Instructions
Maintaining your New Balance 9060 Grey Kids Trainers, particularly with their suede elements, will ensure their longevity and appearance:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a soft-bristled brush (a suede brush works best) to gently brush off debris. Always brush in the direction of the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains on suede, use a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of white vinegar applied with a clean cloth. Rub gently and allow to air dry.
- Midsole/Outsole: Wipe the rubber midsole and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
