Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 1906 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of high-performance heritage and modern comfort in a unisex design. Their key benefit lies in the advanced sole unit, offering superior cushioning and shock absorption for everyday wear and light athletic activities. A potential caveat is that the open-holed mesh upper, while breathable, may offer less protection in wet conditions.

FAQs
What is the primary technology used in the sole of the New Balance 1906?
The sole unit features a combination of ACTEVA LITE cushioning for flexibility, N-ergy for shock absorption, and segmented ABZORB SBS pods in the heel for enhanced comfort and stability.
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
The New Balance 1906 trainers are designed for casual wear and light training. While they offer excellent cushioning, they are not optimized for long-distance running performance, which typically requires shoes with more specialized support and cushioning systems.
How do I clean the mesh and synthetic materials?
Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and cool water solution. Gently scrub away dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals. Always air dry at room temperature.
What makes the design of the 1906 unique?
The design features an open-holed mesh upper combined with distinctive curvilinear synthetic overlays, offering a refined execution of high-performance heritage aesthetics.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?
Yes, the New Balance 1906 trainers are designed with a unisex fit, making them suitable for all genders.
What is the main benefit of the ABZORB SBS pods?
The ABZORB SBS pods are located in the heel and provide segmented cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to overall comfort and stability during wear.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Refer to New Balance's official sizing chart for accurate measurements. Consider trying different sizes if available, as fit can vary slightly between models.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the cushioning is durable, prolonged heavy use can eventually reduce its effectiveness. Ensure the shoes are not exceeding their intended use (casual wear, light training). Proper care and avoiding excessive impact can help maintain cushioning.
Mesh upper feels too breathable in cold weather
These trainers are best suited for mild to warm conditions due to the mesh upper. For colder weather, consider wearing thicker socks or opting for a different footwear model designed for colder climates.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and synthetic overlays, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and cool water solution. Gently scrub away dirt and stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the sole unit. For stubborn dirt on the midsole or outsole, a soft brush can be used.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their color and material integrity.
