FAQs

What makes the Lunar New Year edition special?

The Lunar New Year edition features a unique color palette (Sea Salt, Angora, Morel, soft gold) and specific design accents to commemorate the occasion, making it a collectible item with a sophisticated aesthetic.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer good comfort and support for daily wear and light activities, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and not optimized for high-impact running. For serious running, a dedicated running shoe is recommended.

How do I clean the mesh and leather parts?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the mesh and leather. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a gentle wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh, premium leather, and durable TPU and nylon ripstop overlays.

Does this shoe offer good support for standing all day?

Yes, the New Balance 1906R features orthopedic arch supports designed to provide stability and comfort, making it suitable for extended periods of standing or walking.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their condition and longevity.

What is the original release date and price?

The New Balance 1906R Lunar New Year White (W) was released on January 1, 2024, with an original price of $175.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If slightly tight, wear them with thicker socks for a short period to allow them to stretch naturally. For significant tightness, consider if a larger size is needed.

Reduced traction

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing grip.

Discoloration on light-colored areas

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a specialized sneaker cleaner suitable for white leather and mesh.

Arch support feels uncomfortable

Allow a break-in period of a few wears as your feet adjust to the orthopedic support. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles that offer different support profiles.
