FAQs

Are the New Balance 1906R suitable for running?

While they offer excellent cushioning and support for walking and everyday wear, the 1906R are not specifically designed as high-performance running shoes. For dedicated running, consider specialized running models from New Balance.

How do I clean the mesh part of the trainers?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild detergent to gently clean the mesh. Avoid aggressive scrubbing. Always air dry them away from direct heat sources.

What makes the cushioning system special?

The 1906R features a combination of ACTEVA LITE for lightweight cushioning, N-ergy for shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods specifically in the heel for enhanced impact protection.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The mesh upper offers breathability but is not waterproof. While the rubber outsole provides some grip, they are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect comfort and material longevity.

What is the main benefit of the synthetic overlays?

The curvilinear synthetic overlays provide structural support to the mesh upper, enhancing durability and contributing to the distinctive aesthetic of the shoe.

What shoe sizes are available?

These trainers are available in a range of adult sizes. Please refer to the product listing for specific size availability, as it may vary by retailer.

How durable is the N-ergy rubber outsole?

The N-ergy rubber outsole is designed for durability and reliable traction for everyday use, offering good resistance to wear and tear on typical urban surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Check the official New Balance size guide and compare with your foot measurements. Consider trying on different sizes if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models.

Mesh upper appears dirty or stained

Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the affected area. Rinse carefully with a damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

While the cushioning is durable, its effectiveness may decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn and consider replacing them if comfort significantly diminishes.

Traction feels slippery on certain surfaces

The N-ergy rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance can vary on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris.
