FAQs
What does '1906X' signify?
The '1906X' refers to a specific model series within the New Balance footwear line, often indicating a modern interpretation or updated version of a heritage design, in this case, inspired by the year 1906 which is significant to New Balance's history.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The product description mentions 'GORE-TEX' in the context of the '1906 GORE-TEX' model, but the provided description for the '1906X' does not specify GORE-TEX or waterproof capabilities. Therefore, assume they are water-resistant due to the materials but not fully waterproof.
Can I wear these for running?
These trainers are described as having a heritage running aesthetic and feature performance cushioning. They are suitable for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities. For dedicated or high-intensity running, specialized running shoes are generally recommended.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper primarily consists of open-holed mesh, complemented by curvilinear synthetic overlays.
How do the cushioning technologies work?
The sole unit combines ACTEVA LITE cushioning for flexibility, N-ergy for shock absorption throughout the sole, and segmented ABZORB SBS pods specifically in the heel for enhanced impact protection and comfort.
What sizes are available?
These trainers are available in a range of adult unisex sizes. The specific size listed is UK 11, but other sizes are available as indicated by variant siblings.
How should I clean the synthetic overlays?
Gently wipe the synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap solution if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to maintain their finish.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear the shoes with appropriate socks for a few hours at a time to allow them to break in. If discomfort persists, consider if the fit is not suitable for your foot shape.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the sole and the insole. Try removing the insole, ensuring both are completely dry, and then reinserting it. If the squeak persists, it may be a minor manufacturing anomaly.
Mesh appears dirty or stained
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Dab the area carefully rather than scrubbing vigorously. Always allow to air dry.
Sole cushioning feels less responsive over time
While the cushioning is designed for durability, heavy use will naturally reduce its responsiveness. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry, as dirt can sometimes affect performance. Consider replacement if performance has significantly degraded after prolonged use.
