FAQs
Are the New Balance 1906L Loafers true to size?
New Balance footwear generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying the larger size.
Can I wear these loafers for running or other athletic activities?
While the 1906L Loafers incorporate athletic shoe technology for comfort, they are designed for casual wear and walking, not high-impact running or intense athletic activities. Their construction prioritizes style and all-day comfort over performance sports.
What is the purpose of ABZORB and N-ergy technologies?
ABZORB is New Balance's superior foam cushioning that absorbs impact through compression resistance, providing soft comfort. N-ergy technology enhances shock absorption and responsiveness, working with ABZORB to deliver a plush yet supportive feel underfoot.
How do I clean the white sections of the sole?
You can clean the rubber sole components using a soft brush or sponge with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or finish.
Is the 1906L Loafer suitable for all seasons?
With its mesh upper, the 1906L Loafer offers good breathability, making it comfortable in warmer weather. In colder or wet conditions, the mesh and suede materials offer less protection against the elements compared to more robust, waterproof footwear.
What is the gender specification for this product?
This specific variant of the New Balance 1906L Loafer is listed as 'Male'. However, New Balance often designs footwear with broader appeal, and individuals may choose based on fit and personal style.
Troubleshooting
My loafers feel stiff or uncomfortable at first.
Like many new shoes, your 1906L Loafers may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. The advanced cushioning will become more responsive with wear.
The suede overlays look dull or have light scuffs.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the affected areas. This helps to lift the nap and remove superficial dirt, restoring the suede's original texture and appearance.
My feet feel warm or sweaty.
The mesh upper is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks that wick away moisture. If the issue persists, allow the shoes to air out thoroughly between wears.
I notice a stain on the mesh or suede.
Act quickly! For mesh, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. For suede, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, following its instructions carefully. Avoid rubbing excessively, which can spread the stain or damage the material.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your 1906L Loafers, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning Mesh: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently scrub the mesh areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning Suede Overlays: For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid getting suede excessively wet.
- Drying: Always air dry your loafers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for mesh and suede to offer an extra layer of protection.
