FAQs
What size should I order if I am a US size 10?
The New Balance 1906R is listed in UK men's sizing. A US men's size 10 typically corresponds to a UK men's size 9.5. It is always recommended to check the New Balance size chart for precise conversions.
Are these shoes suitable for actual running?
While inspired by running shoe technology, the 1906R is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for comfort and style. For dedicated running, consider New Balance's performance running shoe lines.
How do I clean the leather parts of the shoe?
Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What does the '1906R' in the name signify?
The '1906R' likely references the year 1906, the founding year of New Balance, with 'R' possibly indicating a retro or reissued model inspired by running shoes from that era or a later period.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but these shoes are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they get wet, ensure they are dried properly to prevent damage.
What is the main color of this variant?
This variant, 'Sea Salt True Red', features a predominantly white or off-white (Sea Salt) upper with significant 'True Red' accents.
Is this shoe available in other colors?
The New Balance 1906R series is available in various colorways, including different combinations of white, red, and other neutral tones, catering to diverse preferences.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK men's size. If the fit is still not right, consider trying a different size or width if available. For minor tightness, breaking them in with thicker socks can help.
Leather creasing.
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Storing with shoe trees can help maintain shape.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The rubber sole offers good traction but may perform differently on very wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean. For increased grip on specific surfaces, consider after-market sole grips.
Discoloration of the red accents.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean with a damp cloth and mild solutions specifically for leather dyes. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
