Full details

FAQs

What makes the 1906L Loafer different from the original 1906 sneaker?

The 1906L Loafer reimagines the 1906 sneaker's athletic DNA into a slip-on loafer silhouette, incorporating penny loafer design cues while retaining performance cushioning.

Are these shoes suitable for formal events?

While they offer a sophisticated look, they are best suited for smart-casual or business-casual settings rather than highly formal events due to their hybrid design.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a dedicated suede brush to clean and maintain the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always protect with a suede protector spray.

What is the purpose of the saddle strap?

The saddle strap is a classic design element borrowed from traditional penny loafers, adding a touch of heritage and style to the shoe's contemporary silhouette.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as it can damage the material. A suede protector can offer some water resistance, but they are not waterproof.

What sizes are available?

The New Balance 1906L Loafer is available in a range of adult unisex sizes. Please refer to the sizing chart for specific UK and equivalent measurements.

Do the ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning offer good support?

Yes, ABZORB and N-ergy are New Balance technologies designed to provide excellent shock absorption, energy return, and lasting comfort for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Consider applying a suede protector to prevent future staining.

Inconsistent fit or rubbing.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, break-in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Consider using heel grips or insoles if minor adjustments are needed.

Cushioning feels less responsive over time.

The ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning are designed for durability, but performance may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might affect the sole's function. For significant degradation, replacement may be considered.
