FAQs
What makes the 1906X different from other New Balance trainers like the 2002R?
The 1906X shares a similar sole unit technology with models like the 2002R and 860v2, featuring ACTEVA LITE, N-ergy, and ABZORB SBS. The primary differences often lie in the specific upper design, materials, and subtle adjustments to the fit and aesthetic, with the 1906X often presenting a more refined take on the era's design conventions.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The 1906X is designed with comfort and support for everyday wear and light training. For dedicated marathon running, it is recommended to use shoes specifically engineered for long-distance running that offer advanced cushioning and support tailored to that activity.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel snug but not overly tight, and the midfoot should feel comfortably supported without pinching.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
The open-holed mesh upper is not waterproof. While they offer some protection against light splashes, they are not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions without additional waterproofing measures or socks.
What is the intended use for the New Balance 1906X?
These trainers are intended for adult unisex wear, providing comfort and support for daily activities, walking, casual wear, and light athletic training. They blend high-performance heritage with modern comfort.
How should I clean the synthetic overlays?
Gently wipe the synthetic overlays with a soft cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or stiff brushes that could scratch the material.
What does 'ACTEVA LITE' cushioning mean?
ACTEVA LITE is a New Balance midsole foam technology that offers a lightweight yet durable cushioning experience, providing a good balance of comfort and responsiveness for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit or initial stiffness
Wear the trainers around the house for short periods to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure the laces are adjusted for comfort without being too tight.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
Ensure the midsole and cushioning pods are clean. While the cushioning is durable, its effectiveness can be perceived to diminish with extensive wear; consider replacing them if usage is very high.
Mesh upper feels less breathable
Check the mesh for blockages from dirt or debris. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. Clean the mesh gently as per care instructions.
Slipping in wet conditions
The outsole is designed for general traction. For significantly wet or slippery surfaces, exercise caution as with any footwear. The open mesh is not designed for water resistance.
