FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the 1906A trainers?
The primary benefit is the combination of advanced cushioning technology (ACETVA LITE, ABZORB SBS) and stability features (TPU heel cages, Stability Web) offering superior comfort and support for daily wear.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While they offer excellent cushioning for daily wear and light activity, the 1906A is not specifically designed as a high-performance marathon running shoe. For dedicated marathon training, a specialized running shoe might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the distressed leather parts?
Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dust. For marks, a slightly damp cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, as this could alter the distressed appearance.
What does 'ABZORB SBS' mean?
ABZORB SBS refers to segmented crash pad technology designed to provide excellent shock absorption and support, enhancing comfort during impact.
Is the 'NB Navy' colour accurate to the description?
Yes, 'NB Navy' is the primary mesh colour, complemented by 'Vintage Indigo' and 'Sea Stone' leather accents, creating a distinct blue colour family.
What is the purpose of the TPU heel cage?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) heel cage provides structural support and stability to the heel area, helping to lock the foot in place and improve overall balance.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The trainers have a mesh upper and N-ergy outsole. While they offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Extended exposure to heavy rain may result in dampness. It's best to clean and dry them thoroughly after getting wet.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size and width. Try wearing them with different types of socks. If the discomfort persists, consider a different size or width.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
The N-ergy outsole provides good traction, but performance may be reduced on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that might affect grip.
Materials appear worn or distressed
The design incorporates distressed synthetic and leather elements for a specific aesthetic. This is intentional and part of the shoe's style, not a defect. Regular cleaning will help maintain the overall appearance.
