New Balance 1906L Sneaker - Black/Grey - Low Shoes - UK 6.5

The 1906L merges the athletic heritage of New Balance's 1906 running shoe with the classic design elements of a penny loafer, creating a hybrid shoe suitable for dynamic, everyday wear.

The shoe features a suede upper, TPU heel overlays, and a rubber outsole. Internally, it incorporates ABZORB SBS for heel cushioning.

Use a specialized suede brush for regular maintenance and a dedicated suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

No, the 1906L is designed for lifestyle wear and comfort. While it uses performance cushioning technology, it is not intended for athletic training or running.

The 1906L reimagines the 1906 silhouette into a loafer-like slip-on style, whereas traditional 1906 models are lace-up running shoes.

N-ergy is New Balance's shock-absorbing outsole technology, and ABZORB SBS is a cushioning technology specifically for the heel, providing enhanced impact absorption and stability.

While the rubber outsole offers some traction, the suede upper is not water-resistant and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments.

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.

Ensure the N-ergy rubber outsole is clean. For initial wear, the outsole may have a slight slickness; this typically improves with use on various surfaces. Avoid wearing on wet, polished surfaces if traction is a concern.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The slipper-like design should offer a comfortable, snug fit. If consistently uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if socks are being used.
