FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The New Balance 1906 "Sea Salt" is designed for everyday wear and light running workouts. For long-distance running, consider models specifically engineered for that purpose, which offer more specialized cushioning and support.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The shoe should feel snug around the heel and midfoot, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to move freely without hitting the front. They should not feel tight or cause pinching. It's recommended to try them on at the end of the day when feet are slightly larger.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash the New Balance 1906 trainers. Machine washing can damage the adhesives, delicate materials, and the structural integrity of the shoe. Hand-cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What is the main benefit of the ORTHOLITE sockliner?

The ORTHOLITE sockliner provides enhanced cushioning for comfort, helps wick away moisture to keep feet dry, and offers antibacterial properties to help reduce odor.

How durable is the N-durance outsole?

The N-durance technology is used in high-wear areas of the outsole to increase its durability and resistance to abrasion, providing a longer lifespan for the shoe under normal use.

Is the 'Sea Salt' colorway difficult to keep clean?

The 'Sea Salt' colorway is a light shade and, like most light-colored footwear, requires regular cleaning to maintain its appearance. Promptly wiping away dirt and scuffs with a damp cloth will help keep them looking fresh.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe size or width is appropriate. Trying them with different socks might also help.

Reduced cushioning over time

While the ABZORB and N-Ergy systems are durable, cushioning can decrease with extensive use. Ensure the ORTHOLITE insole is clean and properly seated. For significant degradation, replacement insoles might be considered.

Upper material scuffs easily

The synthetic upper is designed for breathability and lightness. Minor scuffs can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth. For frequent use in environments prone to scuffs, consider alternative footwear or a protective spray if suitable for synthetic materials.

Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your trainers:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic upper with a clean, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Insole: The ORTHOLITE sockliner can typically be removed and gently spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
  • Outsole Care: Clean the N-durance outsole with a brush to remove debris. For tougher stains, a damp cloth can be used.
  • Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
