Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with appropriate athletic socks. Break them in gradually with short periods of wear.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the outsole by removing any dirt or debris trapped in the tread pattern. If the sole is excessively worn, consider replacement.
Mesh material appears dirty
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Pat dry with a clean cloth and allow to air dry.
Reflective accents are not as bright
Ensure the reflective surfaces are clean. Dirt or scuffs can diminish their reflectivity. They are most effective when light directly hits them.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 1906R trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the mesh and leather components. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Suede/Nubuck Care: If applicable to specific overlays, use a suede brush to clean these areas.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the sole, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately in cold water with mild detergent. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and prolonged exposure to sunlight.
