FAQs

What kind of activities are the New Balance 1906R suitable for?

These shoes are best suited for everyday casual wear, urban exploration, and light walking. Their advanced cushioning provides excellent comfort for extended periods, but they are not designed for high-performance athletic activities like intense running or sports.

How do I determine the correct size?

The New Balance 1906R typically runs true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, paying attention to toe room and overall comfort. For detailed sizing, refer to New Balance's official size chart.

What is ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning?

ABZORB is a superior blend of foam cushioning and compression set, providing optimal shock absorption. N-ergy is New Balance's advanced cushioning system, often found in the heel, which provides superior shock absorption and responsive feel, enhancing overall comfort and energy return with each step.

Can I machine wash my New Balance 1906R shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended, especially due to the suede and synthetic materials. This can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the care instructions provided for cleaning by hand.

How do I protect the 'Bronze' color from fading or getting dirty?

To protect the color and materials, we recommend applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and mesh footwear before wearing them. Regular cleaning and proper storage away from direct sunlight will also help maintain their appearance.

Are these shoes breathable?

Yes, the resilient mesh components in the upper are designed to offer good breathability, helping to keep your feet comfortable during extended wear. The synthetic and suede overlays provide support without completely sacrificing airflow.

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

New shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations for the first few days to allow the materials and cushioning to adapt to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.

The suede parts of my shoes are looking dull or dirty.

Gently brush the suede with a dry suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, use a specialized suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid water where possible.

My N-lock lacing system doesn't feel secure.

Ensure you are threading the laces correctly through the N-lock loops and tying them firmly. The system is designed to provide a snug fit, so adjust the tension evenly across the laces until comfortable yet secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care

To maintain the sophisticated look and longevity of your New Balance 1906R shoes, particularly with their suede and mesh upper, follow these care tips:

  • Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush specifically designed for suede. For mesh areas, a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water can be used.
  • Spot Treatment: For stains on suede, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  • Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Never put them in a washing machine or dryer.
  • Protection: Consider applying a suede and fabric protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light to prevent fading and material degradation.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners as these can damage the materials and finish.
