FAQs

What does 'GS' in New Balance 1906 GS stand for?

GS typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that these trainers are designed for children's sizes, specifically older children or pre-teens.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports activities?

Yes, with their ABZORB cushioning, supportive heel cage, and durable outsole, the 1906 GS trainers are well-suited for various active play, running, and light sports activities, offering both comfort and support for children.

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it with the official New Balance children's sizing chart. This specific variant is UK Size 5.5. Always allow a little extra room for growth, but not so much that the foot slips inside the shoe.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section above for best results.

Do these trainers provide arch support?

While the ABZORB cushioning system provides overall comfort and impact protection, specific arch support may vary. For children with specific arch support needs, consulting a podiatrist or using custom insoles might be beneficial.

Troubleshooting

My child's feet feel hot or sweaty during wear.

Ensure your child is wearing breathable socks made from materials like cotton or moisture-wicking synthetics. After use, allow the trainers to air out thoroughly in a well-ventilated area. The mesh upper is designed for breathability, but proper sock choice and airing are crucial.

The trainers feel too loose or too tight.

Adjust the lace closure. For a tighter fit, pull the laces firmly from the bottom upwards. For a looser fit, gently loosen the laces. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the most comfortable and secure fit for your child's foot.

The outsole seems to be losing its grip.

Check the Nergy outsole for any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris, which can reduce traction. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and a brush if necessary. If the tread appears significantly worn down, it might be time for a new pair to ensure optimal safety.

The trainers are making squeaking noises.

Squeaking can sometimes occur if moisture gets trapped between parts of the shoe or if the insole shifts. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath it. If the squeak persists, ensure the trainers are completely dry before wearing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Comfort: ABZORB cushioning provides excellent shock absorption for active feet.
  • Breathability: Mesh upper keeps feet cool and fresh, reducing discomfort.
  • Enhanced Support: TPU heel cage offers stability during dynamic movements.
  • Durable Grip: Nergy outsole provides reliable traction and long-lasting wear.
  • Secure Fit: Lace closure allows for precise adjustment and a snug feel.
  • Retro Styling: Offers a distinctive and fashionable throwback look.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Getting started with your New Balance 1906 GS trainers is straightforward:

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove the trainers from their packaging.
  2. Lace Up: The trainers come pre-laced, but you may want to adjust the lacing to achieve your child's most comfortable and secure fit. Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight.
  3. Wear: Have your child try on the trainers with their usual socks to ensure proper sizing and comfort before prolonged use.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: These trainers are designed for kids (GS typically refers to Grade School sizes).
  • Activity: Ideal for everyday wear, school, playground activities, and light athletic use. The durable construction and cushioning make them suitable for active children.
  • Sizing: This specific model is a UK Size 5.5 for children. Please check New Balance's sizing chart if unsure about conversions.

Care

Proper care helps maintain the trainers' appearance and extend their lifespan:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth or sponge. Lightly scrub the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: Wipe the Nergy outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. A soft brush can help clean deeper grooves.
  • Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
