FAQs

Are the New Balance 1906A trainers suitable for running?

While they offer excellent cushioning and shock absorption for general comfort and light training, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. For serious or long-distance running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

What is the primary benefit of the N-ergy technology?

N-ergy technology is designed to absorb shock, providing a smoother stride and reducing impact on the joints during wear.

How should I clean the synthetic overlays?

Gently wipe the synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to prevent damage.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

The mesh upper offers breathability but may not be waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What makes the sole unit unique?

The sole unit features a combination of ACTEVA LITE cushioning for flexibility, N-ergy for shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods in the heel for enhanced stability and impact protection.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the 1906A series is available in various colorways and material combinations. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort on initial wear

The cushioning technology may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Squeaking sound from the sole

This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the sound persists, check for any debris trapped in the sole.

Mesh upper feels too loose

Ensure the laces are properly tied to secure the foot. The mesh is designed for breathability, which can sometimes feel less structured than solid materials.
