FAQs

Are the New Balance 1906R trainers suitable for running?

While the 1906R features athletic cushioning technologies like `ACTEVA LITE` and `ABZORB SBS`, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for comfort and style in everyday wear and light activities, not specialized running performance.

How do I choose the correct size for my New Balance 1906R?

We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, or prefer a roomier fit, considering going up half a size might be beneficial. Always try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.

Can I machine wash my New Balance 1906R trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions using mild soap and hand-washing methods.

What is the primary benefit of ACTEVA LITE and ABZORB SBS cushioning?

`ACTEVA LITE` provides lightweight, flexible cushioning, while `ABZORB SBS` pods are specifically designed for superior impact absorption, working together to deliver a comfortable and smooth experience by reducing stress on your feet.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The New Balance 1906R includes `Stability Web tech` which provides midfoot support, contributing to overall stability and a degree of arch support. For specific arch support needs, custom insoles can often be used.

Are the materials durable for everyday use?

Yes, the combination of a breathable mesh upper with synthetic overlays and a durable `N-ergy` outsole is designed to withstand the rigors of everyday wear, offering a good balance of durability and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.

Ensure you've selected the correct size. Try wearing them with thinner socks initially to allow for a slight break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider exchanging for a half-size larger.

Squeaking sound coming from the shoes while walking.

This can sometimes be caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, dusting the inside of the shoe with baby powder or cornstarch, and then reinserting them. Alternatively, try a different pair of insoles.

Upper material appears dirty or stained.

Gently clean the affected area with a soft brush or cloth using a solution of mild soap and cold water. For stubborn stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for textile and synthetic materials may be used, following product instructions carefully.

Loss of grip on the outsole.

Inspect the `N-ergy` outsole for embedded debris (small stones, mud) and clean thoroughly with a stiff brush and water. If the tread pattern appears significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacing the trainers for optimal safety and performance.

Care:

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your 1906R trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the textile and synthetic upper, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub soiled areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: A brush can be used with mild soap and water to clean the `ACTEVA LITE` midsole and `N-ergy` outsole, removing dirt and debris.
  3. Drying: *Always* air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or machine dry.
  4. Odor Control: Remove insoles to air out occasionally. For persistent odors, use shoe deodorizers or baking soda.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
