FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the sole unit in the 1906X?

The sole unit combines ACTEVA LITE cushioning for lightness and flexibility, N-ergy for shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods in the heel for enhanced impact protection and comfort.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 1906X offers advanced cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and trainers, blending performance heritage with everyday wear. For dedicated high-mileage running, specialized running shoes might be more appropriate.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the UK adult foot sizing guide provided. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the size chart, or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The mesh upper provides breathability but is not designed for significant water resistance. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What kind of maintenance do the synthetic overlays require?

The synthetic overlays can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are dried thoroughly after cleaning to maintain their appearance and integrity.

What is the intended use for the 1906X?

The 1906X is intended for adults seeking comfortable, stylish footwear that combines advanced cushioning technology with a refined, heritage-inspired design, suitable for daily wear and casual activities.

How does the 1906X compare to the 2002R or 860v2?

Like the 2002R and 860v2, the 1906X utilizes a similar high-tech sole unit featuring ACTEVA LITE, N-ergy, and ABZORB SBS. The 1906X differentiates itself with its specific upper design, featuring open-holed mesh and unique curvilinear overlays.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off

Ensure you are wearing the type of socks you typically use with trainers. If the fit is still not right, consider trying a half-size up or down, as shoe fit can vary.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

The cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure the midsole is clean and free from debris. For significant loss of cushioning, consider replacing the shoes.

Upper mesh appears dirty

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a solution of mild soap and water. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid soaking the entire shoe.
