FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance 1906R typically runs true to size. However, foot shape varies, so if you are between sizes, consider trying both or consulting a size chart.
Can I use these for running?
While the 1906R has a running heritage and performance cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and everyday comfort shoe. For dedicated high-performance running, New Balance offers specialized running shoe lines.
How do the ACTEVA LITE and Nergy technologies work together?
ACTEVA LITE provides lightweight and flexible cushioning across the midsole, while Nergy foam (part of the outsole and specifically in the heel pods) offers superior shock absorption and energy return, working in tandem to deliver a comfortable and responsive ride.
What does 'Stability Web technology' do?
Stability Web technology is designed to provide targeted arch support, which helps control pronation and offers additional stability to the midfoot during your stride, enhancing overall comfort and reducing foot fatigue.
How should I clean the leather upper?
For the leather upper, gently wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water. Let them air dry completely.
Is this model available in other materials?
Yes, while this specific variant features a leather upper, the New Balance 1906R series is also available in other materials like polyester or nylon with synthetic overlays, offering different textures and breathability levels.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB SBS heel cushioning?
ABZORB SBS heel cushioning is a dense foam that provides advanced shock absorption, particularly benefiting the heel strike. This helps to dissipate impact forces, enhancing comfort and reducing strain on your joints during walking.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking.
Remove the insole and sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replace the insole. This can reduce friction causing the squeak.
Feet feel hot or sweaty after prolonged wear.
Ensure you are wearing breathable socks. The leather upper, while durable, may offer less ventilation than mesh variants. Allow shoes to air out thoroughly between wears.
General discomfort or rubbing in specific areas.
This may indicate the need for a break-in period. If discomfort persists, check if the size or width is appropriate for your foot. Consider trying different lacing techniques or socks.

- Care for Leather Upper:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner following product instructions.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain shape.
