FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
The New Balance 1906R trainers are inspired by running shoes and offer good comfort and support for everyday wear. However, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use rather than elite or competitive running.
How do I clean the metallic silver overlays?
Wipe the metallic silver overlays gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the finish.
What is the main benefit of ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning?
ABZORB provides excellent shock absorption, while N-ergy enhances stability and cushioning. Together, they offer superior comfort and support for all-day wear.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a soft brush and mild detergent is the preferred method for cleaning the upper and midsole.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of dark grey mesh for breathability and metallic silver leather overlays for style and durability.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
What does the 'R' in 1906R signify?
The 'R' in 1906R typically signifies a re-release or updated version of the original 1906 model, often incorporating modern materials and refinements while retaining the core design.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe requires a brief break-in period. Adjust lacing for a more personalized fit.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the mesh. For tougher stains, a small amount of mild soap diluted in water can be applied with a cloth, followed by a thorough wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Over time, cushioning can naturally degrade. Ensure the shoes are not overused for intense athletic activities that exceed their design purpose. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup out of the box; they are ready to wear.
Compatibility: The New Balance 1906R trainers are designed for adult foot sizes. This specific variant is a UK size 7.5. They are generally compatible with standard sock wear.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the mesh and leather parts with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the midsole, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
