FAQs
Are the New Balance 1906R trainers suitable for running?
While the 1906R offers excellent cushioning and support for walking and daily wear, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer. For dedicated running activities, New Balance offers specialized running shoe models engineered for higher performance and specific biomechanical needs.
How do I clean the mesh material on the 1906R?
Clean the mesh gently with a soft brush or damp cloth. Use a mild soap and water solution for tougher spots, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth and air dry. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
What is the main difference between 1906R and other New Balance models like 2002R or 860v2?
The 1906R shares a similar sole unit philosophy with models like the 2002R and 860v2, featuring ACTEVA LITE, N-ergy, and ABZORB SBS. The key differences lie in the upper design, specific material combinations, and overall aesthetic, with the 1906R offering a distinct take on heritage performance.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
The mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. While the rubber outsole provides some grip, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet environments and may absorb moisture.
What size should I order if I'm usually a UK 10.5?
New Balance sizing can vary slightly. It is recommended to consult the specific size chart provided by the retailer or manufacturer, and if possible, try on the shoes to ensure the best fit.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The product description does not specify width options. Generally, trainers with a lace-up closure offer some adjustability. For specific width needs, it's advisable to check product details for 'wide' or '2E' sizing if available.
What does 'MPN' mean?
MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. It is a unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer to a specific product variant.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. If discomfort persists, consider the fit for your specific foot shape or explore alternative lacing techniques.
Traction is poor on certain surfaces
Check the rubber outsole for debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. Note that specific surfaces may inherently have less grip.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained
Gently clean the affected area with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Blot with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Soles feel less cushioned over time
The cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme heat, which can degrade foam. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Due to the technical mesh and open-holed construction, cleaning should be done gently. Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the foam midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by 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.
- Laces: Remove laces before cleaning and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
