FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 1906A trainers are designed with advanced cushioning and support systems, making them excellent for walking and light training. While they offer a comfortable ride, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact, long-distance running.
What materials are the trainers made of?
The upper is constructed from a lightweight synthetic material and open-holed mesh for ventilation and abrasion resistance. The sole unit incorporates ACTEVA LITE cushioning, N-ergy, and ABZORB SBS pods, with an N-durance rubber outsole for durability.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided UK sizing. Trying them on in person, if possible, is the best way to ensure a proper fit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The harshness of the washing machine cycle can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning components. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the benefit of the ABZORB system?
The ABZORB system in the midsole is engineered to absorb impact forces, reducing stress on your feet and joints during walking and activity. This contributes significantly to the overall comfort and cushioning of the shoe.
How does the Stability Web feature help?
The Stability Web is integrated into the midfoot of the sole. It provides torsional rigidity and support, helping to control pronation and ensure stability during lateral movements and changes of direction.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 1906A trainers are designed with a unisex fit, making them suitable for all genders. They are available in a range of adult sizes.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or width, as individual foot shapes vary.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between shoe components. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the noise persists, try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe.
Reduced cushioning after extended use
The cushioning may naturally compress over time. Regularly check the integrity of the sole and consider replacing the ORTHOLITE sockliner if it appears worn or flattened.
Discoloration on the upper
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean minor scuffs with a damp cloth immediately.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use, suitable for casual wear and light athletic activities. They are unisex and available in a range of UK adult sizes.
Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the synthetic and mesh materials. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and moisture.
