9060 vs 530 — which should I buy? First New Balance purchase
Hey everyone, this is my first time buying New Balance and I’m stuck between the 9060 and 530.
My use is casual daily wear, nothing for running or sports.
The prices I’m getting are:
9060: around $110 USD / AED 400 for the color shown above, but other colors are around $220 USD / AED 800
530: around $76 USD / AED 300 (for the above colour), otherwise $140 USD / AED 500
I know they’re pretty different shoes, but I’m trying to decide whether the 9060 is worth paying almost 3× more for just everyday use.
Also, which color would you recommend? I want something versatile that I can wear with most outfits. Grey, white, black, beige, etc. are all options.
Would you personally spend AED 800 on the 9060 for casual daily wear, or save the money and get the 530 for AED 300?
This is my first New Balance purchase, so I’d really appreciate any advice on model, comfort, sizing, and color choice.
