FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 suitable for running?
The 9060 is designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer, featuring ABZORB cushioning for comfort. While suitable for walking and light athletic activities, they are not engineered for performance running and may lack the specific support and responsiveness required for such activities.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the New Balance official sizing chart available on their website. The 9060 model is generally considered true to size for a unisex fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for the New Balance 9060. The materials, especially suede and mesh, can be damaged by the washing machine's agitation and heat. Hand-cleaning with specific product care instructions is advised.
What is the main inspiration behind the 9060 design?
The 9060's design is inspired by the Y2K era's futuristic and visible technology aesthetics, reinterpreting elements from New Balance's classic 99X series with a modern sensibility.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole features a massive, sculptural texture designed for durability and solid traction on a variety of surfaces, providing a stable foundation for the shoe.
What are the primary materials used in the upper?
The upper of the 'Truffle Salt' colorway primarily uses delicate purple suede combined with breathable beige mesh accents, offering both style and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you are using the correct size by consulting the New Balance sizing guide. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider alternative lacing techniques or insoles.
Suede material appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning or comfort over time.
The ABZORB cushioning may gradually compress with extensive use. Ensure the insoles are correctly positioned and consider replacing them if significant comfort loss occurs.
Sole shows signs of wear or lacks grip.
Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear. If grip is significantly reduced, the lifespan of the shoe may be nearing its end. Ensure the sole is clean, as debris can affect traction.
