FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the New Balance 1906R offers excellent cushioning and stability, making them suitable for light running and casual jogs, they are primarily designed for versatile daily wear and comfort. For dedicated long-distance or intensive running, specialized running shoes might offer more targeted features.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

The airy mesh upper can be gently cleaned using a soft brush or cloth with a solution of mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Do not submerge the trainers in water. Always allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Do these trainers provide good arch support?

Yes, the New Balance 1906R features Stability Web technology, which is specifically engineered to provide enhanced arch support. This contributes significantly to overall foot stability and comfort, especially during extended wear.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam cushioning material that is a superior blend of foam cushioning and compression set. It provides optimal shock absorption and energy return, enhancing comfort and reducing impact on your feet during activity.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is primarily made of synthetic materials. It features an N-ergy rubber outsole for reliable traction and durability, combined with an ABZORB cushioned midsole for superior comfort and impact absorption.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The mesh upper of the 1906R trainers provides excellent breathability but is not waterproof. While the N-ergy outsole offers good grip, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or very wet conditions is not recommended as it can saturate the interior of the shoe.

Are these trainers true to size?

New Balance trainers generally tend to run true to size for most individuals. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the tonal lace fastening. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot. Experiment with different lacing patterns if needed to achieve a more personalized and comfortable fit.

Foot discomfort or lack of desired support after long wear.

While ABZORB cushioning and Stability Web provide support, ensure you have the correct size. Consider trying different types of athletic socks or, if necessary, consult with a specialist for custom insoles if your arch support needs are very specific.

Outsole grip seems diminished or feels slippery.

Inspect the N-ergy rubber outsole for any embedded debris (e.g., small stones, mud, dirt). Clean the tread thoroughly with a brush and water. Ensure the sole is completely dry before use to maximize traction.

Trainers appear dirty, dusty, or have minor scuffs.

For general dirt on polyester and synthetic materials, gently clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher scuffs, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for synthetic materials can be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Unpleasant odor developing inside the trainers.

Remove the insoles and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizer sprays or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Ensure trainers are fully dry after each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

  1. Lacing: Unlace the trainers and slide your foot in. Adjust the tonal lace fastening to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened to avoid pressure points.
  2. Break-In Period: While comfortable from the start, a short break-in period during light activity may allow the materials to fully conform to your foot's unique shape, enhancing personalized comfort.

Compatibility

  • Activities: Ideal for everyday casual wear, walking, light running, gym workouts, and urban exploration. The supportive features make them suitable for individuals seeking comfort and stability during moderate activity.
  • Environment: Best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. While the outsole provides good grip, the mesh upper is not waterproof.
  • Sizing: These trainers are designed for adult males, UK size 11.

Care

  1. Cleaning: For the polyester mesh upper and synthetic overlays, gently wipe with a damp, soft cloth using a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing vigorously.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For stubborn spots, use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) with the mild soap solution, then gently wipe clean.
  3. Drying: Air dry the trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (e.g., radiators, hair dryers). Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  4. Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air out. Using shoe deodorizers can help maintain freshness.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity, which can affect material integrity.
