FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The New Balance 1906A trainers are designed for everyday wear and light training. While they offer good cushioning and support, they are not optimized for long-distance, high-intensity running like marathons. For such activities, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine my UK size for these trainers?

Refer to the product listing for the specific UK size. It is generally recommended to try them on if possible or consult a size chart provided by New Balance.

Can I wash the ORTHOLITE insoles?

Yes, the ORTHOLITE insoles can be removed and cleaned gently with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before placing them back into the trainers to prevent odor and material damage.

What is the main benefit of the Stability Web technology?

The Stability Web is integrated into the midfoot of the shoe to provide enhanced support and torsional rigidity, helping to stabilize the foot during movement and prevent excessive pronation.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the trainers are made from synthetic suede and mesh materials, which are not waterproof. They offer breathability but will not protect against significant water exposure.

How durable is the N-durance outsole?

The N-durance outsole is engineered for enhanced durability, utilizing a high-density rubber compound in key wear areas to resist abrasion and extend the lifespan of the sole.

What makes the ABZORB and N-Ergy cushioning special?

ABZORB provides a mix of cushioning and compression resistance, while N-Ergy offers superior shock absorption and energy return. Together, they contribute to a comfortable and responsive ride.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear. Check lacing for even pressure distribution.

Suede material discolored or stained

Address stains promptly with a suede cleaner or a specialized shoe cleaner. Avoid exposure to water and oily substances.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

While designed for durability, cushioning can naturally lessen with extensive use. Consider replacing the ORTHOLITE insole if the issue persists and is significant.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The N-durance outsole offers good traction, but performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be limited. Exercise caution in such conditions.
