FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While the New Balance 1906X offers excellent cushioning and support for everyday wear and moderate activity, they are not specifically designed for professional marathon running. For competitive long-distance running, specialized running shoes with advanced performance features might be more appropriate.
How do I determine my correct size in unisex footwear?
Unisex sizing often runs differently from gender-specific sizing. It is recommended to consult the New Balance sizing chart, paying close attention to the UK sizing provided. Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the chart. Many users find it helpful to compare their usual UK men's or women's size to the corresponding UK unisex size.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the New Balance 1906X trainers. Machine washing can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and materials. Hand washing using a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the primary difference between ACTEVA LITE and N-ergy cushioning?
ACTEVA LITE provides a lightweight and flexible cushioning base, promoting a natural feel. N-ergy is designed for enhanced shock absorption, helping to dissipate impact forces, especially during heel strike.
How durable are the synthetic overlays?
The synthetic overlays are designed to provide structure and support to the mesh upper, enhancing the shoe's durability and helping it maintain its shape during regular use.
What is the purpose of the ABZORB SBS pods in the heel?
ABZORB SBS pods are strategically placed in the heel to offer additional cushioning and stability, providing superior comfort and impact protection where it's needed most during the gait cycle.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort on one side
Ensure the laces are tied evenly and not too tight on one side. Consider if the unisex sizing is appropriate for your foot width; a wider fit might be needed.
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to moisture. Try wearing them in dry conditions or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if accessible.
Mesh material appears dirty
Refer to the care instructions for cleaning the upper. Use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and allow to air dry thoroughly.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic areas with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the rubber sole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
