FAQs
What is Ortholite technology?
Ortholite technology refers to the material used in the insoles. It provides breathable, moisture-wicking, and anti-microbial cushioning for long-lasting comfort and support.
What does Ndurance rubber mean for the outsole?
Ndurance rubber is a highly durable compound developed by New Balance. It's strategically placed in high-wear areas of the outsole to resist abrasion and extend the shoe's overall lifespan.
Are these New Balance 1906 sneakers suitable for running?
These sneakers feature a neutral cushion midsole and are designed for general everyday wear and light activities. While they offer comfort, they are not specifically engineered as dedicated running shoes for high-mileage or intense training.
How do I clean the polyester material of my sneakers?
To clean the polyester upper, gently brush off loose dirt. Then, use a soft cloth dampened with a mixture of mild detergent and cold water to gently wipe the surface. Avoid machine washing, and always air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Ortholite insoles are typically removable, allowing you to air them out, clean them, or replace them with custom orthotics or new insoles if desired.
Are these sneakers true to size?
Info needed: Fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. Generally, New Balance shoes aim for consistent sizing. We recommend trying them on or consulting a size guide if you are unsure of your UK 12 fit.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure the laces are not overtightened; try re-lacing to achieve a more balanced tension. Allow a brief break-in period for the shoes to conform to your feet. Verify you have the correct size.
Foot odor develops.
Remove the Ortholite insoles periodically to air them out. Ensure your socks are clean and breathable. Consider using an anti-odor spray or shoe freshener.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Check if the insoles are properly seated or if they've become damp. Sometimes removing, drying, and reinserting the insoles can resolve this. If the squeak persists, apply a small amount of baby powder under the insole.
Outsole appears to be wearing down quickly.
While Ndurance rubber is highly durable, excessive wear can occur with heavy use or specific gait patterns. Rotate your shoes with other footwear to extend their lifespan. Ensure you are using them for their intended casual/light activity purpose.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your polyester New Balance 1906 sneakers:
- Cleaning the Upper (Polyester):
- Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) or dry cloth.
- Mix a small amount of mild detergent (like dish soap) with cold water.
- Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the soapy water and gently wipe down the polyester upper.
- Avoid saturating the material. Use a separate clean, damp cloth to wipe off any soap residue.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the material and structure.
- Cleaning the Outsole (Ndurance Rubber):
- Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the rubber sole.
- For stubborn grime, a small amount of mild detergent can be used.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause material degradation.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
