FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent. This model is UK size 7.5. It's recommended to refer to New Balance's official sizing chart or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
Suede is susceptible to water damage. While a good quality suede protector can offer some resistance, it is generally advised to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent staining and damage.
How often should I clean my suede New Balance 1906R shoes?
Regular light cleaning with a suede brush after a few wears is recommended to prevent dirt buildup. Deep cleaning should be done as needed for stains or significant dirt.
What is the material of the sole?
The New Balance 1906R features a durable, wear-resistant outsole, likely made from rubber or a rubber blend, designed for traction and longevity. (Info needed: specific outsole material technology)
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
While the 1906R series has heritage running elements, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker. It is not recommended for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
What does 'non-slip' mean for these shoes?
'Non-slip' refers to the outsole design, which is engineered to provide enhanced traction and grip on typical dry and moderately wet surfaces, reducing the risk of slipping compared to smooth soles.
How do I protect the color of the brown suede?
To protect the brown suede color, use a UV-protective suede spray and store the shoes away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Regular cleaning also prevents dirt from dulling the color.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. Brush in one consistent direction.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry completely. Then, lightly dampen the entire shoe surface with a mist of water, let it dry, and brush the suede. For stubborn spots, consider a professional suede cleaner.
Unpleasant odor from shoes
Remove insoles and air out shoes. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let sit overnight before shaking out. Ensure shoes dry thoroughly after wear.
Scuffs or minor marks on the sole
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water to gently wipe away scuffs from the rubber outsole. For tougher marks, a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser can be effective.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after prolonged wear
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow for a brief break-in period. Consider thinner socks or different lacing techniques if discomfort persists. (Info needed: specific comfort technologies, if any, that could influence fit)

Care Instructions for Suede
Maintaining the appearance and longevity of your suede New Balance 1906R shoes requires specific care:
- Water and Stain Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust from the surface. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution. Apply sparingly and blot gently, avoiding excessive rubbing.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Deep Cleaning (if necessary): For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner experienced with suede. Avoid using water or harsh detergents directly on suede as it can cause irreversible damage.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
