FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

While inspired by running shoe design and offering comfort, the New Balance 1906 are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. For serious running, we recommend shoes specifically engineered for high-performance athletic activity.

How do I determine my correct size?

We recommend trying on the shoes to ensure the best fit. New Balance shoes generally run true to size for UK sizing, but individual foot shapes can vary. If unsure, measure your foot and refer to the official New Balance size chart.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the suede and mesh materials, as well as the adhesives and cushioning. Please follow the care instructions provided in this guide for manual cleaning.

What is 'Stability Web technology'?

Stability Web technology is an innovative feature designed to provide enhanced support and stability to the foot's arch, helping to cradle the foot and reduce pronation during movement.

How long do these shoes typically last?

The lifespan of the New Balance 1906 trainers depends on usage frequency, care, and individual wear patterns. With proper care and moderate use, they are built to offer lasting comfort and durability.

Are these shoes breathable?

Yes, the inclusion of mesh paneling in the design contributes to breathability, helping to keep your feet comfortable during wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and texture. Brush in one direction.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Allow for a break-in period, as new shoes can sometimes feel stiff initially. Check your sock thickness.

Foot odor develops

Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each wear. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays, and wear moisture-wicking socks.

Stains on mesh material

Gently clean with a mild soap and water solution, using a soft cloth or brush. Blot dry and allow to air dry completely.

These trainers require no special setup; simply lace them up and they are ready for wear. They are designed for adult males and are compatible with various casual and athletic apparel. To ensure longevity and maintain their appearance, follow these care instructions:

  1. General Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush to gently remove loose debris from both suede and mesh. A damp cloth can be used for surface wiping, avoiding oversaturation.
  2. Suede Care: For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush or eraser to tackle marks. Avoid water where possible, as it can stain suede. If wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  3. Mesh Cleaning: For mesh areas, a mild soap solution and a soft cloth can be used. Gently wipe the affected area, then blot dry with a clean cloth.
  4. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
