FAQs
Is the New Balance 1906L a running shoe?
No, while it uses a performance sole unit (860v2), the shoe is designed as a lifestyle and fashion item, not for running or sports.
How does the sizing run?
The 1906L follows standard adult UK sizing; since it is a slip-on style, it is recommended to choose the size that aligns with your typical sneaker fit.
Can I wash these in a machine?
Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the synthetic overlays and the internal structure of the shoe.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the upper is constructed from polyester mesh, which is designed to allow air circulation and manage moisture.
What is the primary difference between the 1906L and a standard 1906 trainer?
The 1906L is a loafer interpretation of the 1906 silhouette, removing the lacing system for a slip-on design meant for casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or heel instability
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the fit; if the issue persists, consider adding a thin, adhesive heel grip liner.
Surface dirt accumulation in mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from the perforated mesh areas before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The 1906L is a slip-on style shoe, meaning no initial setup is required. For sizing, these are standard unisex adult sizes; ensure your UK size is selected correctly as the fit is fixed due to the loafer construction. To maintain the polyester mesh and synthetic materials, wipe the exterior regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial cleaners, which can degrade the bonding agents of the overlays. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
