FAQs
What makes the cushioning in the 1906A unique?
The 1906A features a combination of ACTEVA LITE cushioning for lightweight support, N-ergy technology for shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods specifically in the heel for enhanced impact mitigation.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 1906A is designed for everyday wear and light training sessions. While they offer comfort and some stability features, they are not engineered for high-impact running or professional athletic performance.
How breathable is the mesh upper?
The upper is made of open-holed mesh, which provides excellent breathability and ventilation, keeping your feet cool during wear. However, this design may offer limited protection in wet conditions.
What is the purpose of the Stability Web feature?
The Stability Web technology is integrated into the midfoot of the shoe to provide support and stability, helping to ensure confident changes of direction and a secure feel during movement.
Can the insole be replaced?
The 1906A features an ORTHOLITE sockliner, which generally offers good cushioning and antibacterial properties. While not always designed for easy replacement, it can sometimes be removed for cleaning or airing. If significant custom orthotic support is needed, consult with a footwear specialist.
What is the N-durance technology?
N-durance is a durable rubber compound used in the outsole of the shoe. It is strategically placed in high-wear areas to enhance the longevity and resilience of the sole.
What is the main design inspiration for the 1906A?
The silhouette of the 1906A draws inspiration from iconic New Balance models from the late 1970s, giving it a distinctive retro-runner style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing to provide more or less snugness. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size, as fit can vary.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
Ensure you have the correct size and consider if the ORTHOLITE sockliner is providing adequate support for your foot type. If discomfort continues, consult the product information for alternative models that might better suit your needs.
Reduced grip on certain surfaces.
Check the outsole for wear and tear. If the tread is significantly worn down, grip may be compromised. Clean the outsole to remove any debris that might be affecting traction.
Mesh appears to be snagging or tearing.
Be cautious of sharp objects. For minor snags, gentle handling may prevent further damage. Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces.
