Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 1906L Raincloud is a hybrid shoe designed for adult males seeking a blend of sneaker comfort and loafer style. Its key benefit lies in its versatile design, suitable for casual wear with the added support and shock absorption of sneaker technology. A potential caveat is its slip-on nature, which may not offer the same secure fit as traditional lace-up shoes for all activities.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The New Balance 1906L Raincloud is not designed to be waterproof. The mesh upper offers breathability but will not prevent water from entering during wet conditions.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the size chart for New Balance Men's footwear and measure your foot length. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with comfortable space in the toe box. The slip-on strap should provide gentle security across the forefoot.

Can I wear these for running?

These shoes are designed for comfort and casual wear. While they feature sneaker technology for cushioning, they lack the specific support and secure fit required for high-impact running activities.

What is the Nergy technology?

Nergy is a cushioning technology developed by New Balance that provides excellent shock absorption and energy return, enhancing comfort for extended wear.

How often should I clean the leather parts?

Clean and condition the leather parts as needed, typically when they appear dry or show signs of dirt. For regular wear, conditioning once every few months can help maintain the leather's condition.

What is the main difference between this and a traditional loafer?

The main difference is the integration of sneaker-like comfort features, including a breathable mesh upper and specialized midsole technology (Nergy), combined with a slip-on design that incorporates a supportive strap.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too loose

Ensure the forefoot strap is properly positioned. For a slightly snugger fit, consider using thicker socks.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a soft brush carefully.

Leather components look dry

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner with a soft cloth to restore moisture and suppleness.

Unusual squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days, or check for any debris caught in the sole or seams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no assembly or setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: The New Balance 1906L Raincloud is designed for adult male footwear. While they are versatile for various casual settings, they are not intended for specialized athletic performance.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Mesh: Gently wipe the mesh areas with a soft cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  2. Cleaning the Leather: Use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for leather footwear. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
  3. Midsole: Wipe the midsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect from dust and damage.
