FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

The New Balance 1906A is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. While it offers good cushioning for everyday activities, it is not optimized for the specific demands of marathon running compared to dedicated running shoes.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the New Balance size chart for accurate measurements. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or ensure your current shoe size in other reputable brands fits well, as the UK 6 corresponds to a specific foot length.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic overlays for support and durability.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet environments to maintain the shoe's condition and comfort.

What does 'Inkwell Sea Salt Faded Plum' refer to?

This describes the colorway of the shoe, indicating shades of dark blue ('Inkwell'), off-white ('Sea Salt'), and muted purple ('Faded Plum').

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole is made of rubber, which is known for its durability and resistance to abrasion, providing good traction for regular wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if the size is correct or if a 'break-in' period is needed. Wearing thinner socks might also help.

Squeaking sound during walking

This can sometimes occur due to new materials rubbing. Try wearing them for a few more walks. If it persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Discoloration after cleaning

Ensure you used only mild soap and water, and avoided harsh chemicals. Always use a damp cloth for wiping and allow to air dry away from direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: The New Balance 1906A is designed as a men's casual footwear option and is compatible with standard sock types. It pairs well with jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt and debris from the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if needed. Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle in a mesh bag.
