FAQs

Are the New Balance 1906R trainers suitable for running?

The 1906R is designed with advanced cushioning and support for everyday wear and light athletic activities. While they offer comfort and shock absorption, they are not specifically engineered as performance running shoes for intense training or long distances. For dedicated running, consider New Balance's specialized running shoe lines.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and cool water solution. Gently scrub away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What is the main difference between the 1906R and other New Balance series like 2002R or 860v2?

The 1906R, similar to the 2002R and 860v2, features advanced sole unit technologies like ACTEVA LITE, N-ergy, and ABZORB SBS for cushioning and shock absorption. The specific design, upper construction, and aesthetic variations differentiate these series, with the 1906R often highlighted for its refined take on heritage design with a hi-tech upper.

Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?

Yes, the New Balance 1906R is listed as a unisex model, suitable for adults regardless of gender. Sizing is typically based on standard UK or EU measurements.

What is the weight of a single New Balance 1906R trainer?

The approximate weight is 345 grams (12.2 oz) per shoe, contributing to a lightweight feel for their supportive construction.

Does the Stability Web offer significant arch support?

Yes, the Stability Web technology integrated into the sole unit is designed to add arch support, contributing to a secure and stable stride during wear.

How durable is the N-ergy outsole?

The N-ergy outsole is engineered for superior grip and impact protection, and is made from rubber to ensure durability for everyday use and varied surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing thinner socks or breaking them in gradually with short wear periods.

Traction is reduced on wet surfaces

The N-ergy outsole provides good grip, but performance on extremely wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For critical wet conditions, consider specialized footwear.

Mesh upper shows signs of wear

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. If the mesh snags, address it gently with tweezers to tuck loose threads, if possible, to prevent further tearing.

Heel feels unstable

Check that the TPU heel cage is intact and that the shoe's laces are properly tightened to secure the heel. The Stability Web is designed for arch support; ensure it's not obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The New Balance 1906R trainers come ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them with appropriate athletic socks.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult use and are compatible with standard sock types. They are suitable for a wide range of activities, from casual wear to light athletic pursuits.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your 1906R trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the open-holed mesh and synthetic overlays, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and cool water solution. Gently scrub away dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can alter the shape or damage the materials.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a mesh laundry bag.
  4. Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and clean them with a damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
  5. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
