FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The 1906R trainers offer excellent cushioning and support, making them suitable for long runs. However, for competitive marathon running, consider shoes specifically designed for racing that might offer a lighter weight and more aggressive responsiveness.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure and not slip excessively. Trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear for running is recommended.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials, structure, and cushioning technology. Spot cleaning with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between the 1906R and other New Balance models like the 2002R?
While both share similar sole unit technologies (ACTEVA LITE, N-ergy, ABZORB SBS), the 1906R often features a slightly different upper design and aesthetic, sometimes leaning into a more retro-futuristic look compared to the 2002R. Performance characteristics are generally comparable, focusing on comfort and support.
How durable is the mesh upper?
The open-holed mesh is designed for breathability. While generally durable for regular use, it may be more susceptible to wear and tear in extreme conditions or if subjected to excessive abrasion.
What does 'ACTEVA LITE' cushioning mean?
ACTEVA LITE is a New Balance proprietary foam that provides lightweight cushioning and durability, balancing comfort with a responsive feel without adding significant weight to the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try inserting a thin powder (like talcum powder) between the tongue and the insole, or between the insole and the midsole if accessible. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure you have the correct size and width. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider using different socks or insoles. Consult a footwear specialist if discomfort is significant.
Mesh appears dirty
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a solution of mild soap and cool water. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
