FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While built with performance heritage and cushioning technologies like ACTEVA LITE and N-ergy, the New Balance 1906R is primarily designed for advanced comfort and style in everyday wear, rather than specialized high-mileage or competitive running.
How should I clean my 1906R shoes?
Gently clean the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing. Air dry completely away from direct heat to preserve materials.
What is ABZORB SBS heel cushioning?
ABZORB SBS is a denser foam compound that provides enhanced cushioning and stability specifically in the heel area. It contributes to superior shock absorption and impact protection, especially beneficial during walking and standing.
What does Stability Web technology do?
Stability Web technology is an arch support system integrated into the shoe's design. It provides targeted support to the midfoot, enhancing overall stability and reducing excessive pronation during movement.
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance generally offers consistent sizing. It's recommended to consult the New Balance size guide if you are unsure, or try them on to ensure the best possible fit for your foot shape and size.
Can I wear these in all weather conditions?
The mesh upper provides excellent breathability but is not waterproof. For wet weather conditions, it is advisable to wear waterproof footwear to protect your feet and prolong the life of the shoe's materials.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing after wear
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to find a comfortable tension. Consider wearing appropriate athletic socks designed to reduce friction. Allow a short break-in period if they are new, as materials may soften with wear.
Squeaking noise when walking
Squeaking can often be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole. Also, check if any part of the shoe is loose.
Loss of cushioning feel over time
Cushioning materials naturally compress with extended use. To maximize their lifespan, rotate between multiple pairs of shoes. Regularly clean insoles and store shoes properly. If the cushioning loss is significant, consider replacing the insoles with new, supportive ones.
Difficulty keeping the shoes clean
Regular, gentle cleaning is key. For light dirt, a soft, damp cloth is sufficient. For tougher stains on mesh, use a soft brush with a small amount of mild soap and water. Avoid letting dirt dry and cake onto the materials, as this makes it harder to remove.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your 1906R shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or machine dry.
- Insoles: Remove insoles periodically to air them out, which helps prevent odors.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submersion: While durable, the mesh upper is not waterproof. Avoid fully submerging the shoes in water.
