FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 1906L features a performance-inspired sole, its design is intended for style and casual wear, not for high-impact athletic activities like running.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. The UK size is indicated in the product title, and it's advisable to measure your foot length for the best fit.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
The mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent discomfort and potential damage to the materials.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper primarily consists of open holed mesh and curvilinear synthetic overlays, designed for breathability and support.
What does ABZORB SBS mean?
ABZORB SBS refers to New Balance's cushioning technology that provides shock absorption and support, particularly in the heel area, enhancing overall comfort.
Is the style unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 1906L is designed as a unisex model, suitable for any wearer.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If new, allow for a short break-in period. Wearing them with thin socks can also help initially.
Discoloration on mesh or overlays
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a very mild soap solution and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For new shoes, a light scuff on a rough surface can improve traction. Some surfaces naturally offer less grip.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your 1906L Loafers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the open holed mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
