FAQs
Are the New Balance 1906 in Silver suitable for running?
While the New Balance 1906 features advanced cushioning technologies like ACTEVA LITE and Nergy for comfort and shock absorption, it's primarily designed as a lifestyle and everyday wear shoe with performance heritage. For serious or competitive running, specialized running shoes might offer more targeted support and performance features.
How do I clean my New Balance 1906 Silver sneakers?
Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
What is ACTEVA LITE cushioning?
ACTEVA LITE is a premium foam compound developed by New Balance. It provides lightweight, highly flexible cushioning that is also durable. It's designed to absorb impact efficiently, contributing to the shoe's overall comfort and responsive feel.
Does the 1906 offer good arch support?
Yes, the New Balance 1906 features Stability Web technology, which is specifically designed to provide added arch support. This helps maintain proper foot alignment and enhances stability during wear.
Is the sizing true to fit for the New Balance 1906?
New Balance sizing generally runs true to standard UK sizes. However, foot shapes vary. We recommend consulting the official New Balance sizing chart and considering any personal preferences for fit. If possible, try them on to ensure the best comfort.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
The New Balance 1906 features a mesh upper, which provides breathability but is not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may lead to water penetration. We recommend avoiding heavy wet conditions to maintain the shoe's integrity and your comfort.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing after extended wear
Ensure the shoe is laced correctly, not too tight or too loose. Check that you are wearing appropriate socks. Consider if the shoe size is correct; sometimes a half-size adjustment or trying different lacing patterns can resolve issues.
Squeaking sound while walking
Often, a squeak comes from friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and placing a thin layer of talcum powder underneath. If the squeak persists, check for any trapped debris in the outsole or loose components.
Shoes feel less supportive over time
The cushioning and support systems of any shoe can degrade with extensive use. Ensure proper care, including regular cleaning and drying. If the shoes are very old or have been subjected to heavy use, it might be time to consider replacement to maintain optimal support and comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets. Start with a loose fit and gradually tighten from the toe upwards for a snug, comfortable fit, avoiding excessive pressure points.
- Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape. Pay attention to any areas of discomfort.
Compatibility
- Age Group: Adult
- Gender: Unisex (though some variants may be listed specifically for Male/Female)
- Sizing: Available in various UK adult foot sizes. Refer to New Balance's official sizing chart for the most accurate fit recommendation if you are unsure.
Care
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary) to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the material. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for athletic footwear can be used.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as these can warp materials or cause adhesives to weaken.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Odour Control: If needed, remove insoles and air them out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda can help absorb odours.
