FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the 1906L is a lifestyle trainer intended for casual, everyday wear rather than performance running.
How do I clean the silver leather?
Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe down the surface. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can damage the leather finish.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing conventions, but it is recommended to consult the size guide if you have particularly wide or narrow feet.
Can I use shoe trees for this model?
Yes, using cedar or plastic shoe trees will help the leather maintain its shape and absorb excess moisture after wearing.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, which provides a premium look and structural integrity.
Is the insole removable?
The insole can usually be removed, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or tight upon first wear
Wear them with thicker socks for short periods at home to gently stretch and break in the leather.
Scuff marks on the silver leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with mild leather cleaner to gently buff out the mark.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a double-knot is used or replace them with higher-friction cotton laces if the original laces feel too slippery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1906L trainers remain in prime condition, consider these steps:
- Initial Break-in: Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors before committing to long walks to allow the leather to flex naturally to your foot shape.
- Leather Care: Use a clean, soft brush to remove dust and dirt after use. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-specific cleaner and condition occasionally to prevent cracking.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the silver and grey tones over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair best with dark denim or tailored trousers due to their low-profile, sophisticated silhouette.
