FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 1906L Loafers feature a performance-inspired sole, they are designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe, not for dedicated athletic training or running.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, paying close attention to the UK sizing guide provided. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart for the best fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear the suede components in wet conditions, as this can damage the material. The shoes are best suited for dry or mildly damp weather.
What is the primary material used?
The shoes primarily feature a combination of suede and open-holed mesh for the upper, with synthetic overlays and a rubber sole.
How does the 860v2 sole unit benefit the wearer?
The 860v2 sole unit, with its ABZORB SBS pods in the heel, provides enhanced cushioning, shock absorption, and comfort for everyday wear.
Is this shoe available in other colors?
This specific model is presented in a Grey/Black colorway. Please check the product listings for other available color options.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first, and follow the product's instructions. Allow to air dry completely.
Shoes feel slightly tight or uncomfortable.
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Thicker socks can also help stretch them slightly. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate.
Mesh upper is dusty.
Gently wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth. For embedded dirt, use a soft brush or a cloth with a very mild detergent solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
