FAQs

What is the 'Refined Future' series?

The 'Refined Future' series, sometimes referred to as 'Protection Pack,' is a design concept by New Balance that features a deconstructed, raw, and layered aesthetic, giving the shoes a distinctive, worn-in yet intentionally modern look.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam material that provides superior shock absorption and cushioning. It effectively disperses impact forces, reducing stress on your feet and joints for enhanced comfort.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

While comfortable and supportive, the New Balance 1906A Refined Future trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light walking. For dedicated running or high-impact sports, New Balance offers other models specifically engineered for those activities.

How do I find my correct size?

These trainers are listed in UK adult sizing. It's recommended to choose your standard UK shoe size. If you're unsure, measure your foot length and compare it to a New Balance size chart. Some users may prefer to try them on for the best fit.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The nylon and mesh upper offers some breathability but is not fully waterproof. For extended exposure to wet conditions, your feet may get damp. Applying a water-repellent spray designed for mixed materials can offer some protection.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper of the New Balance 1906A Refined Future trainers features a blend of durable nylon, breathable mesh, and supportive synthetic leather details, contributing to its unique aesthetic and structure.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. The 1906A uses standard UK sizing. Loosen the laces, wear thinner socks, or allow for a short break-in period, as materials may soften with wear.

Shoes get dirty easily or stains are tough to remove

Regularly spot clean your trainers after each wear. For tougher stains, a specialized shoe cleaner for mixed materials (nylon, mesh, synthetic leather) might be necessary. Apply a protective spray before initial wear to help repel dirt and water.

Squeaking sound when walking

Often, a squeak comes from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Remove the insole, sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder underneath it, then replace. Ensure laces are tied securely.

Foot odor develops

Remove the insoles regularly to air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees. Ensure your socks are clean and breathable. If possible, alternate between two pairs of shoes to allow them to fully dry between wears.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with standard athletic or casual socks. They are primarily intended for casual use and light walking, rather than intense athletic activities like running or heavy training.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your 1906A trainers, given their mixed material construction:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For dirt and minor stains, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently rub the affected area.
  2. Nylon and Mesh: These areas can be cleaned with a soft brush and mild soapy water. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  3. Synthetic Leather: Use a damp cloth to wipe down synthetic leather sections.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  5. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause materials to crack or warp.
  6. Odour Control: If needed, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
  7. Protection: Consider using a shoe protector spray suitable for mixed materials to guard against water and stains.
