Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 1906 "Sea Salt" trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern performance for everyday wear and light athletic activities. Their key benefit lies in offering superior comfort and support through advanced cushioning and stability technologies. A potential caveat is that the synthetic upper, while breathable, may offer less warmth in colder conditions. These trainers combine a lightweight, breathable synthetic upper, an ORTHOLITE sockliner for odor control and cushioning, ABZORB and N-Ergy systems for shock absorption and energy return, N-durance for outsole durability, and a Stability Web layer for enhanced control.

FAQs
Are the New Balance 1906 trainers suitable for wide feet?
The 'Sea Salt' model is listed as unisex. While it offers a standard fit, New Balance often produces shoes in various widths. It is recommended to check for specific width options or consult a size guide for potential wide-fit versions if available.
How long does the 'break-in' period typically last?
Most users find the New Balance 1906 trainers comfortable from the first wear due to the advanced cushioning. However, a slight break-in period of a few wears might be needed for the shoe to fully mold to your foot shape.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technologies. Hand wash using the care instructions provided.
What is the main difference between ABZORB and N-Ergy?
ABZORB is a technology that absorbs heel shock, while N-Ergy is designed to absorb shock and return energy throughout the forefoot and heel, providing a more responsive feel.
Are these trainers good for marathon running?
The New Balance 1906 is best suited for everyday wear and light running workouts. For marathon distances, dedicated long-distance running shoes with specialized cushioning and support might be more appropriate.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Measure your foot length from heel to toe while standing. Compare this measurement to the New Balance sizing chart, which usually provides conversions to UK sizes.
What does 'Sea Salt' refer to in the product name?
'Sea Salt' refers to the colorway of the trainers, which is a light, neutral shade of white with grey accents, inspired by natural coastal tones.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different sock thicknesses. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if they are the right fit for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The ABZORB and N-Ergy cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Follow care instructions to maintain material integrity. If performance significantly degrades, it may be time to consider replacement.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the N-durance outsole provides good grip, like most athletic shoes, traction can be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Odor development
The ORTHOLITE sockliner has antibacterial properties. Ensure the shoes are aired out after use. If odor persists, remove and clean the sockliner, and allow both the shoe and liner to dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them up. Ensure they are the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the rubber parts. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Insole Care: The ORTHOLITE sockliner can often be removed for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water and allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
