FAQs

Are the New Balance 1906 trainers suitable for marathon running?

While the New Balance 1906 offers good cushioning and support for light running, it is primarily designed for everyday wear and casual comfort. For marathon running, dedicated performance running shoes with specialized features for long-distance endurance would be more appropriate.

How do I clean the white 'Sea Salt' colorway?

Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean the synthetic upper. Avoid harsh chemicals. For the midsole and outsole, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.

What is the main benefit of the ORTHOLITE sockliner?

The ORTHOLITE sockliner provides enhanced cushioning for comfort and also offers antibacterial properties to help reduce odor, keeping your feet fresher during wear.

Can I wear these trainers with orthotic insoles?

Yes, the removable ORTHOLITE sockliner allows space for custom orthotic insoles. Ensure your orthotics fit comfortably within the shoe's volume.

What does 'Stability Web' technology do?

The Stability Web is a layer integrated into the midfoot of the shoe designed to provide enhanced support and control during turns and lateral movements, contributing to overall stability.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole features N-durance technology, which is a highly durable rubber compound designed to increase the longevity of the shoe in high-wear areas, making them more resistant to abrasion.

What is the difference between ABZORB and N-Ergy cushioning?

Both are New Balance cushioning technologies. ABZORB is known for its excellent shock absorption, while N-Ergy focuses on providing responsive energy return with each step, helping to reduce fatigue.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with thinner socks initially. Loosen the laces and re-tie them more gradually, ensuring even pressure across the foot. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider a larger size or a different model.

Squeaking noise during walking.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe bed, or the outsole and the ground. Try removing the insole and checking for debris. If the noise persists, it might be internal to the shoe's construction.

Reduced cushioning over time.

The ABZORB and N-Ergy cushioning systems are designed for longevity but will naturally reduce over extended use. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended use for light activities. If the cushioning feels significantly diminished, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.

Outsole showing excessive wear.

The N-durance technology increases durability, but heavy use on abrasive surfaces can still cause wear. Avoid dragging your feet when walking or running. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (everyday wear, light running).

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean the synthetic upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a soft brush can be used.
  3. Insole Care: The ORTHOLITE sockliner can be removed for spot cleaning with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect from dust and maintain shape.
