FAQs

What age group are these shoes designed for?

These New Balance 1906 sneakers are designed for 'older kids'.

How do I clean my New Balance 1906 sneakers?

Please refer to the product label for detailed care instructions. Generally, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and water for gentle cleaning, and allow them to air dry.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam cushioning technology that provides excellent shock absorption and comfort in the midsole, protecting the foot from impact.

The N-ergy outsole is designed to provide superior shock absorption and a durable, reliable grip, contributing to overall comfort and stability during various activities.

Are these shoes suitable for serious running or sports?

While running-inspired and featuring advanced cushioning for energetic activities, these shoes are primarily designed for everyday wear, casual outings, and playground activities. For specialized sports, dedicated performance footwear may be more appropriate.

Do these shoes come in other sizes or colors?

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose.

Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. Loosen for more room or tighten for a snugger fit. Confirm the correct size was purchased for the child's foot measurements.

A squeaking sound occurs when walking.

Check for any trapped debris between the outsole and midsole. Remove the insole and reinsert it, ensuring it lies flat and securely within the shoe.

Foot odor develops.

Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Consider using odor-absorbing insoles or shoe deodorizers. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Mesh upper appears dirty or stained.

Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent damage to the mesh. Refer to the care label for specific material cleaning advice.
