FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the New Balance 1906A design?

The design is inspired by early 2000s running shoe aesthetics, re-imagined for modern everyday wear with retro-tech elements.

What materials are used in the construction of the 1906A trainers?

The trainers feature a breathable open-mesh base with layered synthetic and suede-style overlays.

Are these shoes suitable for actual running?

While they draw from running heritage and offer a stable ride, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday wear rather than serious athletic performance.

How should I clean the Inkwell/Sea Salt/Faded Plum colorway?

Use a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. For suede-style areas, a soft brush or specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing.

What does 'retro-tech' refer to in the product description?

It refers to a design that combines older, nostalgic aesthetics (retro) with functional and technical elements often seen in modern footwear (tech).

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

The rubber outsole provides traction, but the mesh and suede-style materials are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.

What is the significance of the '1906A' in the product name?

The '1906' likely references a year or a specific product line within New Balance's history, signifying its heritage. 'A' may denote a specific iteration or update.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit, or thinner socks if they feel too restrictive.

Color transfer from fabric

This can occasionally happen with new, dark-colored footwear, especially when wet. Allow shoes to dry completely before wearing. Use a shoe protector spray designed for the materials to help mitigate color transfer.

Traction feels inadequate

Check the outsole for any debris or embedded objects that might be compromising grip. Ensure the outsole is clean and dry. The rubber compound is designed for general traction; performance may vary on extremely slick or uneven surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Versatile style that complements various outfits.
Comfortable for all-day wear due to plush cushioning.
Durable construction with layered overlays.
Reliable traction for different surfaces.
Stylish retro-tech aesthetic.

Cons

Sizing availability may be limited for certain UK sizes.
The retro design might not appeal to those preferring minimalist styles.
Suede-style overlays may require specific care to maintain appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these trainers are versatile for everyday wear. They pair well with a variety of casual and athletic apparel.

Care Instructions:

Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
Suede-Style Overlays: If the suede-style overlays accumulate dirt, use a soft brush or a dedicated suede cleaner for best results. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in their original packaging or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
