Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Check the lacing: ensure laces are evenly tightened from bottom to top. For consistent issues, verify the shoe size against your child's current foot measurements.
Feet feel hot or sweaty after short wear.
While the mesh upper is breathable, ensure your child is wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Also, ensure shoes are cleaned regularly as dirt can impede breathability.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces.
Inspect the Nergy outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole thoroughly to restore optimal traction.
Unusual squeaking noises.
Check if small pebbles or debris are lodged in the outsole. Sometimes, new insoles can squeak against the shoe's interior; try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder under the insole.
General signs of wear and tear appear quickly.
Regular cleaning and proper storage can extend shoe life. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (active play vs. extreme sports) to prevent premature damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your New Balance 1906 Kids' Shoes is straightforward:
- Lace-Up: Ensure the laces are securely tied for an optimal fit. Adjust tightness to your child's comfort level, making sure the foot is snug but not constricted.
- Sizing Check: Before first wear, double-check that the size is appropriate. There should be about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Compatibility
These shoes are highly versatile for a child's active lifestyle:
- Attire: They pair well with casual clothing such as jeans, shorts, leggings, and athletic wear.
- Activities: Ideal for school, playground, walking, light sports, and everyday play.
- Terrain: The Nergy outsole provides good grip on typical outdoor and indoor surfaces like asphalt, grass, and gym floors.
Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and maintains the appearance of the shoes:
- Cleaning:
- Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth.
- Mix a small amount of mild detergent with cool water.
- Spot clean the mesh upper and overlays with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with the solution.
- Clean the outsole with a brush to remove debris.
- Wipe away any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
