FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The New Balance 1906 trainers are designed for everyday wear and light athletic activities. They feature cushioning for comfort but are not engineered with the specific support and technology required for long-distance running like marathons.

How should I clean the leather parts of the trainers?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher marks, a small amount of mild soap can be applied with the cloth, followed by a wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth. Always allow the leather to air dry naturally.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the leather accents and ABZORB midsole. Hand washing specific parts and air drying is the preferred method for cleaning.

What does ABZORB mean in the midsole technology?

ABZORB refers to New Balance's proprietary midsole technology that combines cushioning and compression resistance to effectively absorb impact, providing a comfortable and supportive feel.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light weather; however, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces may result in the shoes becoming saturated.

What is the intended use for these shoes?

The New Balance 1906 trainers are ideal for casual, everyday wear and light athletic activities such as walking or moderate gym use. They prioritize comfort and impact absorption.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole, or moisture trapped within the shoe. Try removing the insole, drying both the insole and the inside of the shoe thoroughly, and then reinserting the insole. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing.

Laces not staying tied

Ensure you are tying a secure double knot. If the laces are very smooth or worn, consider replacing them with laces that have more grip.

Discomfort after initial wear

New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase the time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly – not too tight or too loose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Simply unbox and they are ready for wear. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit before your first use.

Compatibility: Suitable for unisex adult wear. They pair well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear. For light athletic activities, they are compatible with standard athletic apparel.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Uppers: For leather accents, use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently clean. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent, then air dry.
  4. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
