FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 1906A trainers are designed with advanced cushioning and stability for everyday comfort and light training. While they can handle some light jogging, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the specific support required for dedicated running.
What is the primary benefit of the ORTHOLITE sockliner?
The ORTHOLITE sockliner provides enhanced cushioning for comfort and features antibacterial properties to help keep your feet fresh.
How do the ABZORB and N-Ergy systems work together?
The ABZORB system works to minimize shock absorption, protecting your feet from impact. The N-Ergy technology complements this by returning energy, helping to propel you forward and reduce fatigue during movement.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
The synthetic upper offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces to maintain their condition and comfort.
What does 'N-durance' refer to in the outsole?
N-durance is a durable rubber compound used in the outsole, particularly in high-wear areas, to enhance the shoe's lifespan and resistance to abrasion.
How do I ensure I get the right fit?
Refer to the New Balance sizing guide and consider your usual shoe size. The UK 12.5 size is specified for this product. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or check reviews regarding fit if ordering online.
Are there other color options available?
This guide focuses on the "Thunder Brown" colorway. While specific availability may vary, New Balance often releases popular models in a range of colors and materials.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe or between the sole and the ground. Ensure the insole is properly seated. If the noise persists, try lightly dusting the inside of the shoe with talcum powder or cornstarch.
Discomfort after initial wear
New trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size and width.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The cushioning systems are designed for longevity, but performance can diminish with heavy use. Ensure the shoes are cleaned regularly and stored properly. For significant degradation, consider replacement.
Difficulty keeping the trainers clean
Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth after each wear can prevent dirt from setting in. For more thorough cleaning, follow the care instructions provided, focusing on gentle methods.
