New Balance 1906R - Khaki Suede - UK 8

The New Balance 1906R 'Khaki Suede' are designed as lifestyle trainers, offering comfort and style for everyday wear. While comfortable, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports activities. For athletic pursuits, we recommend exploring New Balance's specialized sports footwear lines.

We highly recommend applying a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray before the first wear and reapplying periodically. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Always avoid wearing them in heavy rain or very wet conditions.

New Balance sizing typically runs true to size. However, foot shapes can vary. For the most accurate fit, we advise consulting the official New Balance size chart and considering measuring your foot if you are unsure.

No, you should never put suede trainers in a washing machine. The harsh detergents, agitation, and water can severely damage the suede material and alter the shoe's structure. Always follow manual cleaning methods for suede care.

The 'wear-resistant' design indicates that the materials used in the construction of the New Balance 1906R are chosen for their durability and ability to withstand the stresses of regular daily use. This contributes to a longer lifespan for your trainers, maintaining their structural integrity and appearance over time.

The 'non-slip' design incorporates specific tread patterns and rubber compounds to enhance traction and grip on a variety of common dry and moderately wet surfaces. While it significantly reduces the risk of slipping, no shoe can guarantee absolute non-slip performance on all extreme or hazardous surfaces (e.g., oil spills, black ice).

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.

New footwear often requires a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. Ensure laces are adjusted for optimal fit without being too tight.

Gently blot any wet areas with a clean, dry cloth. Stuff the trainers with paper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris, mud, or oil that can reduce grip. Evaluate the surface you are walking on; no shoe is universally non-slip on all extreme surfaces. If the issue persists, inspect the tread for excessive wear.
