FAQs

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

The N-ergy outsole is designed to provide superior shock absorption, which helps to reduce impact on your joints during activity and enhances overall comfort.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The 1906A features advanced cushioning and support technologies like ACTEVA LITE and ABZORB SBS, making them capable for long runs. However, individual needs vary, and it's always recommended to test shoes on shorter runs before a marathon.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot accurately. Consider your typical running shoe size, but be aware that fit can vary between models. If possible, try them on in person or check reviews for fit advice.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning should be done by hand using a soft brush, mild soap, and a damp cloth. Air dry naturally.

What is the purpose of the TPU heel cage?

The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) heel cage provides structural support to the heel, enhancing stability and ensuring a secure fit throughout your stride.

Are these shoes good for someone with flat feet?

The Stability Web arch technology offers enhanced arch support, which can be beneficial for individuals seeking more stability. However, those with specific biomechanical needs should consult with a footwear specialist.

What does 'distressed synthetic' mean in the description?

Distressed synthetic refers to materials that have been treated to give them a worn-in or aged appearance, contributing to the shoe's vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing during wear.

Ensure the correct size and width are selected. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check lacing for tightness – too tight or too loose can cause discomfort.

Reduced cushioning or support over time.

This is normal wear and tear. The ACTEVA LITE and ABZORB SBS cushioning will naturally compress with use. Consider replacing the shoes if performance significantly degrades.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

While the N-ergy outsole provides reliable traction, all rubber outsoles have limitations on extremely wet or smooth surfaces. Exercise caution and ensure the outsole is clean.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove dirt. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution, applied sparingly with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoe.
  • Lining and Insoles: If removable, hand wash insoles with mild soap and air dry completely. For the interior lining, spot clean with a damp cloth.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the N-ergy outsole and any other tread areas are free of obstructions for optimal grip.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
