Full details
The New Balance 1906A trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern performance. Their key benefit lies in superior comfort and shock absorption for everyday wear. A potential caveat is their specific retro aesthetic, which may not suit all fashion preferences. These trainers feature a sole unit combining ACTEVA LITE cushioning, N-ergy shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods, with an upper made of open-holed mesh and synthetic overlays, drawing inspiration from 70s designs.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the 1906A trainers?
The primary benefit is the combination of advanced cushioning technologies (ACTEVA LITE, N-ergy, ABZORB SBS) providing excellent shock absorption and comfort for everyday wear, along with a breathable and supportive upper.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The 1906A trainers are designed for everyday wear and light training. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized for long-distance or high-impact running and may lack the specific support required for marathon performance.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For general dirt, use a dry suede brush. For tougher marks or stains, use a damp cloth sparingly or a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on a hidden area first. Allow to air dry naturally.
What does 'N-durance' refer to on the outsole?
N-durance is New Balance's technology for enhanced outsole durability, designed to withstand wear and tear, ensuring the shoe lasts longer.
Can I remove the ORTHOLITE sockliner?
Yes, the ORTHOLITE sockliner is typically removable. This allows for airing out, easier cleaning, or the insertion of custom orthotics if needed.
What is the 'Stability Web' feature?
The Stability Web is an insert within the midsole that provides midfoot support, helping to control pronation and enabling more confident changes in direction.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, the 1906A trainers are designed with a unisex fit, suitable for both men and women.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try removing the ORTHOLITE sockliner for a slightly roomier fit, or wear thinner socks. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially.
Suede material shows water stains or dirt
Allow water stains to air dry naturally without heat. For dirt, use a suede brush. For persistent stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and material. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly during wear.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning components are designed for longevity, but their effectiveness may decrease with extensive use. Ensure the ORTHOLITE sockliner is clean and properly seated. Consider replacing the sockliner if significant wear is apparent.
