Full details

FAQs
Is the 1906R suitable for running?
While the 1906R incorporates high-performance cushioning technology, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for walking and daily activity rather than dedicated long-distance running.
How do I determine my size?
New Balance sizing is generally true to fit; however, if you have wider feet, you may prefer a half-size larger than your standard measurement to accommodate the structured overlays.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash your 1906R trainers, as the mechanical agitation and heat can degrade the cushioning units and adhesive bonds.
What is the difference between the 1906R and the 2002R?
Both models share similar sole technology, but the 1906R features a unique, more intricate upper design characterized by open-holed mesh and distinctive curvilinear overlays.
How often should I replace these shoes?
The lifespan depends on usage frequency, but for daily wearers, most trainers maintain their structural and cushioning integrity for 300 to 500 miles of use.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
The ACTEVA LITE foam typically requires a short break-in period; wear the shoes for 1-2 hours daily to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Mesh upper accumulating dust or debris
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning brush or a soft toothbrush to gently dislodge particles from the open-holed mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 1906R trainers maintain their performance and look, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or dirt from the mesh and midsole. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and water solution on a damp cloth, avoiding harsh detergents that could damage the technical adhesives.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Never place them in a clothes dryer or near a direct heat source like a radiator, as this can warp the foam cushioning and distort the shape of the overlays.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the white components from yellowing over time.
