FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the 1906R trainers?

The 1906R trainers are designed for everyday wear, offering a blend of comfort, support, and style inspired by New Balance's heritage.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense athletic training?

While they offer good cushioning and support, the 1906R is primarily intended for casual wear and light activities, not for high-impact sports like running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It is recommended to consult the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot. Many users find that the fit is consistent with other New Balance trainers, but individual foot shapes can vary.

Can the insoles be replaced with custom orthotics?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing space for custom orthotics or alternative insoles if desired.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed with open-holed mesh layered with technical-inspired synthetics and durable textiles for breathability and support.

What is the difference between ACTEVA LITE and ABZORB?

ACTEVA LITE is a lightweight foam used in the midsole for general cushioning. ABZORB is a specific cushioning technology used in segmented pods, primarily in the heel, to absorb shock more effectively.

How should I care for my 1906R trainers to make them last longer?

Regular cleaning with mild soap and water, air drying away from heat, and proper storage will help maintain their condition and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still tight, consider if the size is correct or if the laces need to be loosened for a more accommodating fit.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The cushioning is designed for longevity but can feel less pronounced after significant wear. Ensure the midsole and ABZORB pods are clean, as dirt can sometimes affect the feel. For significant degradation, replacement may be necessary.

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers or the insole. Try removing the insole, ensuring both it and the shoe interior are dry, and then reinserting it. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Color transfer from shoe to socks

New shoes, especially those with darker or vibrant colors, can sometimes transfer dye. This is more common when the shoes are new and can be exacerbated by moisture. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing. Washing socks separately for the first few wears might help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male and unisex wear, compatible with standard sock sizes.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Lining and Insoles: If removable, insoles can be hand-washed with cool water and mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely. For the interior lining, use a damp cloth.
  3. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris.
  4. Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and damage.
