Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 1906L trainers are designed for the modern adult seeking a blend of athletic performance and contemporary fashion. Offering unparalleled comfort through ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning, these slip-on trainers provide a distinctive style that bridges heritage and trend.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they incorporate performance cushioning like ABZORB and N-ergy, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers with a slip-on fashion aesthetic. For dedicated running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The 1906L trainers generally run true to size. Refer to the New Balance size chart for UK sizing. Ensure there is comfortable space at the toe and no heel slippage.

Can the saddle strap be removed?

No, the saddle strap is an integrated design element and cannot be removed. It contributes to the shoe's unique penny loafer-inspired look and fit.

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?

ABZORB technology provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints, which enhances comfort during extended wear.

How should I clean the mesh and synthetic parts?

Use a soft cloth or brush with a mild soap and water solution. Gently wipe the area and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

Are these trainers unisex?

While the design is inspired by classic athletic wear, this specific model (U19068G9) is listed for adult males. However, New Balance often offers similar styles in unisex or women's specific fits across the 1906L series.

What is N-ergy technology?

N-ergy is an advanced cushioning technology that works with the ABZORB system to provide enhanced shock absorption and energy return, contributing to a responsive feel underfoot.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially.

The shoes may need a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time. Ensure the correct size has been selected.

Difficulty slipping the shoe on.

Ensure your heel is properly positioned and your foot is angled correctly. The saddle strap may feel snug at first but should become more pliable with wear.

Squeaking sound from the sole.

This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction. Ensure the insoles are dry and properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help if the issue persists.

Dirt on the 'Angora' mesh.

Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution for gentle cleaning. Dab gently and avoid vigorous scrubbing to prevent damage to the mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult wear and are compatible with most casual and athleisure outfits. They are suitable for general daily activities.

Care:

  1. Uppers: For the mesh and synthetic components, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Leather Overlays: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner appropriate for synthetic leather.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the Stability Web outsole is free from debris.
  4. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain shape and prevent dust accumulation.
