FAQs
Are the New Balance 1906U suitable for serious running?
While the 1906 series has roots in running, the 1906U, particularly with its linen upper, is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. It offers comfort for daily activities but is not recommended for high-performance or rigorous running training.
How do I choose the correct size?
It's generally recommended to refer to New Balance's official size chart. If possible, try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially considering sock thickness.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The linen material and shoe construction can be damaged by machine washing. Always follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions.
What is the 'Linen' material like on these shoes?
The linen material provides a unique, textured, and often breathable feel compared to traditional synthetic meshes or leathers. It contributes to the shoe's distinct aesthetic but may be more susceptible to staining and require gentler care.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
New Balance often offers various width options for their shoes. However, for the 1906U, specific width availability depends on the particular model release. It's best to check product specifications or try them on to ensure a comfortable fit for wide feet.
How long do New Balance 1906U shoes typically last?
The lifespan of the 1906U depends heavily on usage and care. With proper care and primary use for casual activities, they are built to be durable and last for a significant period. Avoid using them for activities beyond their intended lifestyle purpose to maximize their lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure you have selected the correct size; New Balance sizes can sometimes differ. Allow a brief break-in period, as materials can soften with wear. Consider the thickness of your socks.
Linen upper appears dirty or stained.
Follow the recommended spot cleaning instructions using a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, a specialized fabric cleaner for linen may be effective, or consult a professional shoe cleaner. Avoid machine washing.
Soles show excessive wear quickly.
Assess your usage. These shoes are designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not heavy-duty athletic training. Excessive wear might indicate use beyond their intended purpose. Rotating your footwear can also extend shoe life.
Linen material appears discolored or faded.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Ensure proper air drying away from heat sources. For existing fading, unfortunately, this is difficult to reverse but future fading can be mitigated with proper care.

Care
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 1906U shoes, especially the linen upper, follow these guidelines:
- Spot Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild, diluted soap (such as dish soap) and cold water to gently clean soiled areas. Avoid scrubbing vigorously.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergents, as these can damage the linen material and color.
- Air Dry: Always allow your shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Keep them away from direct sunlight, radiators, or other heat sources, which can cause material distortion or fading. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their original shape when not in use.
- Protection (Optional): Consider applying a fabric protector spray suitable for linen to help repel water and stains, particularly if you anticipate wearing them in varied conditions.
