FAQs

Are the New Balance 1906A suitable for long-distance running?

The 1906A offers excellent cushioning and support, making it suitable for moderate running distances. However, for dedicated long-distance runners, specialized running shoes with more targeted features might be preferable.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided measurements. Trying them on in-store or ordering from a retailer with a good return policy is also advisable.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand wash using the care instructions provided above.

What is the main difference between ACTEVA LITE and ABZORB SBS?

ACTEVA LITE is a lightweight foam providing cushioning and durability throughout the midsole. ABZORB SBS are specific pods, usually in the heel, designed for enhanced shock absorption and comfortable flexibility on impact.

How long is the warranty period for these trainers?

Warranty information can vary by retailer and region. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.

Are the distressed synthetic materials durable?

The distressed synthetic and leather cutouts are designed for aesthetic appeal and are generally durable when properly cared for. Avoid excessive abrasion or exposure to harsh elements to maintain their appearance.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or alternative insoles if desired.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between sole layers. Try wearing them in a dry environment for a while. If it persists, a small amount of talcum powder near the tongue area might help.

Tight fit or discomfort

Ensure you have the correct size. Laces can be adjusted for a customized fit. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The ACTEVA LITE and ABZORB SBS cushioning may feel less pronounced after extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry, as moisture can affect performance. Consider if the shoes have reached the end of their effective lifespan for intense activity.

Traction issues on wet surfaces

While the N-ergy outsole offers good traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For very slick conditions, exercise caution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and synthetic panels, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Leather Components: Wipe down leather sections with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. Remove any embedded debris from the outsole tread.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain shape and protect materials.
