FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The 1906A trainers are designed for lifestyle and light training. While they offer good cushioning and support, they may not provide the specialized features required for long-distance competitive running compared to dedicated running shoes.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or consult the specific size guide provided by the retailer. Ensure your foot is measured from heel to toe.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash the New Balance 1906A trainers. Machine washing can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and upper materials. Spot clean with a damp cloth as described in the care instructions.

What is the main difference between the 1906 and 1906A series?

The 1906A is a specific iteration within the broader 1906 series, often featuring slight updates in materials, colorways, or refinements to the original design while maintaining the core technology and aesthetic.

How durable is the ACTEVA LITE cushioning?

ACTEVA LITE is designed for durability and lightweight performance, offering long-lasting cushioning for everyday wear and light athletic activities. Its lifespan will depend on the frequency and intensity of use.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the 1906A trainers are not waterproof. The mesh upper is designed for breathability, which means they offer ventilation rather than protection from water.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort after first wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Dab the area with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the outsoles are clean and free from debris. For new shoes, this may lessen as the outsole wears in slightly. Be cautious on very wet or polished surfaces.

Synthetic overlays showing wear

Avoid scuffing the shoes against hard surfaces. For minor scuffs, a magic eraser sponge can sometimes be used gently on synthetic materials, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for comfort during extended wear.
  • Durable construction suitable for regular use.
  • Breathable mesh upper helps manage foot temperature.
  • Stylish design that blends retro and modern aesthetics.
  • Good shock absorption, beneficial for walking and light training.

Cons

  • May be perceived as slightly bulky for minimalist style preferences.
  • The performance focus might be overkill for purely casual, low-impact activities.
  • Specific colourways might require careful outfit coordination.
  • Synthetic overlays, while supportive, may require specific care to maintain appearance.
  • Price point may reflect the advanced technology and materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The 1906A trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult unisex wear and are compatible with most standard sock types. Their versatile design makes them suitable for a wide range of casual and athletic activities.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your 1906A trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use.
