FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the New Balance 1906 GS is designed for comfort and durability, making it an excellent choice for daily school wear and playground activities.
What kind of activities are these shoes best for?
These shoes are ideal for general energetic activities, playground use, walking, and light sports, thanks to their ABZORB cushioning and supportive features.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
You can gently wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean and air dry.
Are these shoes heavy for kids?
No, the New Balance 1906 GS features a lightweight construction to ensure that children can move freely and comfortably without feeling weighed down.
Do these shoes offer good ankle support?
The TPU heel cage provides additional support around the heel area, contributing to overall foot stability during energetic activities.
What does 'ABZORB cushioning' do?
ABZORB cushioning is a New Balance proprietary foam that provides excellent shock absorption and resistance to compression, offering superior comfort and impact protection underfoot.
Troubleshooting
My child's feet feel uncomfortable after wearing the shoes for a while.
Ensure the shoes are properly sized for your child. Check the lacing to make sure it's snug but not too tight. Allow feet to breathe between wears, and ensure socks are appropriate for the activity.
The shoes seem to get dirty very quickly.
Regularly clean the shoes after use, especially if worn during outdoor or energetic activities. Use a damp cloth for general dirt and a mild soap solution for tougher spots. Consider using a protective spray designed for footwear to help repel dirt and water.
The laces keep coming undone during play.
Make sure to tie a secure double knot each time the shoes are worn. You might also consider replacing the laces with a slightly different material that has more friction, or trying different lacing techniques that provide better security.
The shoes feel less supportive over time.
Inspect the insoles and outsole for signs of significant wear. While the Nergy outsole is durable, excessive wear can impact performance. Ensure the TPU heel cage is still intact and providing proper structure. If heavily worn, it might be time for a new pair to ensure continued support and comfort.
