FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they contain performance technology like N-ergy and ABZORB, the 1906N is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker rather than a technical performance running shoe.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 1906N is designed as a unisex model to accommodate various foot shapes and styles.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush and a mild cleaning solution. Do not submerge the shoes or put them in a dryer, as high heat can damage the foam cushioning.

Do these shoes run true to size?

New Balance trainers generally fit true to size. If you prefer a wider fit or usually wear thick socks, you may want to consider a half-size larger than your standard measurement.

What is the primary material used in the construction?

The upper utilizes open-holed mesh with synthetic curvilinear overlays, supported by a specialized foam midsole.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the toe box area

Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure of the mesh and overlays.

Visible dirt trapped in mesh

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently lift debris from the open-holed mesh without scrubbing too hard to avoid fraying.

Laces coming undone

Ensure the laces are threaded through the secondary eyelets for a more secure lockdown if you find they loosen during the day.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile unisex design suitable for various wardrobes
  • Multi-layered cushioning system for all-day comfort
  • Excellent ventilation thanks to open-holed mesh construction
  • Distinguished aesthetic based on classic performance silhouettes

Cons

  • Not intended for technical long-distance racing
  • Open-mesh design may allow moisture to enter in heavy rain
  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain the texture of the overlays

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 1906N trainers remain in optimal condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Given the multi-material construction including mesh and synthetic overlays, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean with a soft brush and mild, non-abrasive detergent. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally by removing the insoles and stuffing them with paper to maintain their shape. Ensure you check the sizing guide to confirm the UK fit, as New Balance silhouettes occasionally vary in internal volume.
