FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the sole unit in the 1906R?

The sole unit combines ACTEVA LITE cushioning for flexibility, N-ergy for shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods in the heel for enhanced stability and comfort.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The 1906R is designed with performance heritage but is best suited for daily wear, walking, and light athletic activities. For high-impact running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How should I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or cloth using cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow them to air dry.

What does 'ACTEVA LITE' mean?

ACTEVA LITE is a New Balance foam cushioning compound that is lightweight and flexible, contributing to the overall comfort of the shoe.

Can these trainers be worn by women?

While this specific listing is for men's sizing (UK 13), the 1906R series is often available in unisex or women's sizing. Check product variations for availability.

What is the 'heritage design' aspect?

The 'heritage design' refers to the shoe incorporating design elements and influences from New Balance's historical footwear models, blended with modern construction and technology.

How do the synthetic overlays contribute to the shoe?

The curvilinear synthetic overlays provide structural support to the upper, enhancing durability and fit, while also contributing to the shoe's distinctive visual style.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is suitable for your foot. For persistent issues, consult the retailer regarding exchange options if within the return period.

Mesh appears dirty or stained.

Spot clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth, mild soap, and cool water. For more ingrained dirt, use a soft brush. Rinse lightly and allow to air dry.

Reduced cushioning or support over time.

The cushioning materials may naturally compress with extensive use. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive exposure to extreme conditions can help prolong their effectiveness. Consider rotating with other footwear if used daily for strenuous activities.
