FAQs
Are New Balance 1906R trainers suitable for running?
While providing excellent cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear, walking, and everyday comfort. For serious running, New Balance offers specialized running shoes with features optimized for athletic performance.
How do I clean the black mesh material?
Gently wipe the mesh with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners. Always allow them to air dry completely.
What is Abzorb cushioning?
Abzorb is a proprietary New Balance foam material that provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, distributing impact forces and enhancing overall comfort during wear.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the New Balance 1906R trainers are not waterproof. Their mesh construction offers breathability but allows water to pass through. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions if you wish to keep your feet dry.
Do these trainers come in different colors?
This specific variant features a black and phantom monochrome colorway. However, the New Balance 1906R model may be available in other color combinations depending on regional availability and collection releases. Please check the product page for other options.
What kind of outsole do these trainers have?
They feature a durable rubber outsole designed to provide reliable traction and longevity for everyday walking and casual use.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. Adjust the lace-up closure to achieve a custom fit. New Balance shoes are generally true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Try different lacing techniques if standard lacing isn't comfortable.
I hear a squeaking sound when I walk.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. Also, check that your laces are not excessively tight.
The mesh upper is getting dirty easily.
Regularly wipe the mesh with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use to prevent dirt from settling. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse gently with a clean damp cloth and air dry.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your 1906R trainers:
- Cleaning the Mesh and Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth lightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub away dirt and stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Outsole: A stiff brush can be used to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
- Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage materials.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and air them out. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
