FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

The New Balance 1906 trainers feature an open-hole mesh upper, which prioritizes breathability. Therefore, they are not waterproof and may not be suitable for wear in wet conditions.

What is the primary benefit of ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB cushioning provides superior shock absorption, reducing the impact on the feet and joints, and offers a responsive feel with each step.

Can these trainers be worn for sports?

The 1906 trainers are designed for an active lifestyle and offer good support for general athletic activities like running and playing. For highly specialized sports requiring specific support or features, a dedicated sports shoe may be more appropriate.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Always air dry.

What size should I choose if my child's foot measurement is between sizes?

It is generally recommended to size up if your child's foot measurement falls between sizes to ensure comfort and proper fit as their feet grow.

What is the difference between ABZORB and N-ergy?

Both are cushioning technologies. ABZORB provides responsive cushioning and shock absorption, while N-ergy is designed for enhanced shock absorption and energy return within the sole unit.

How do I ensure a proper fit?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure, and the midfoot should not feel overly constricted.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing. For a tighter fit, pull laces more securely. For a looser fit, loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot. Ensure the heel is properly seated before lacing.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

While the cushioning is durable, prolonged heavy use can reduce its responsiveness. Ensure the shoes are not exceeding their intended use case. Regular cleaning helps maintain material integrity.

Mesh upper appears dirty and difficult to clean

Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution for stubborn dirt on the mesh. Blot gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The 1906 trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are properly tied for a secure fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex children's sizes and are suitable for everyday wear and light athletic activities. They are compatible with standard children's sock sizes.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and overlay areas with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris from the outsole and midsole.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  4. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if heavily soiled. They can be hand-washed with mild soap and water.
