Getting Started

Wearing Your Shoes
Proper Fit and Comfort
The New Balance 9060 GS shoes are designed to provide a balanced fit. Ensure your toes have enough room to wiggle comfortably without sliding forward. The heel should feel secure, minimizing slippage during movement.
Lacing Techniques
Proper lacing can significantly impact comfort and support. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what works best for your foot shape and activity. Common techniques include:
- Criss-Cross Lacing: The most common method, providing even pressure distribution.
- Straight Lacing: Offers a clean look and can reduce pressure points on the top of the foot.
- Loop Lacing: Utilizes the extra eyelets near the ankle for a more secure heel lock, preventing slippage.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 9060 GS shoes.
Cleaning Instructions
- General Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and debris from the mesh and synthetic surfaces.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn stains, use a mild soap mixed with water. Apply the solution to a cloth and gently wipe the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a brush to clean the synthetic rubber sole, removing any embedded dirt or small stones.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Do Not Machine Wash: Machine washing can damage the structure and materials of the shoes.
Storage
Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If storing for extended periods, consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and potential solutions:
- Issue: Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Solution: Adjust lacing. Ensure you have the correct size by referring to the size guide. Foot swelling can occur throughout the day, so try shoes on at different times.
- Issue: Squeaking noise when walking.
Solution: This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and reinserting it. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can also help.
- Issue: Odor development.
Solution: Ensure shoes are thoroughly air-dried after each use. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Consider rotating between multiple pairs of shoes.
- Issue: Sole wear and tear.
Solution: Normal wear is expected over time. To prolong sole life, avoid dragging feet and use shoes for their intended purpose. Replace shoes when the sole tread is significantly worn to maintain traction and support.
