FAQs

What makes the New Balance 1906R suitable for all-day wear?

The trainers feature a combination of ACTEVA LITE cushioning, N-ergy shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods in the heel, all designed to provide comfort and support throughout the day.

Are these trainers good for running?

While they offer advanced cushioning, the 1906R is primarily designed as a lifestyle and everyday trainer, not a dedicated running shoe. For serious running, consider specialized running footwear.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

The mesh upper should be cleaned gently with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive soaking to protect the material.

What is the main difference between the 1906R and other New Balance models like the 2002R?

The 1906R, like the 2002R and 860v2, utilizes a similar sole unit with advanced cushioning technologies. The 1906R's upper design features a distinctive curvilinear overlay pattern and open-holed mesh for a refined, high-performance heritage look.

Can these trainers be worn by women?

While this specific product is listed as Male, the 1906 series often includes unisex options. Always check the product specifications for gender suitability or look for unisex variants.

What material is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of rubber, providing durability and traction.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure distribution. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the laces need to be adjusted for wider feet.

Discomfort during walking

Ensure the shoes are properly broken in by wearing them for short periods initially. Check that the laces are tied correctly for adequate support. The built-in cushioning should provide comfort; if not, ensure no foreign objects are inside the shoe.

Dirt on the mesh upper is difficult to remove

Use a soft-bristled brush and a mild soap and water solution. Gently agitate the dirt, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes or using high-pressure water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The New Balance 1906R Trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with casual attire. They are suitable for men and can be worn for various everyday activities.

Care Instructions:

  • Upper: Gently clean the technical mesh and synthetic overlays with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the materials.
  • Midsole & Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth to clean the rubber outsole and midsole. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or direct sunlight, as this can distort the shape and materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag.
