FAQs

Are the New Balance 1906X suitable for running?

The 1906X features advanced cushioning and shock absorption, making them comfortable for everyday wear and lighter athletic activities. For serious or long-distance running, specialized running shoes might offer more targeted support and performance features.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance. Generally, UK sizing for men and women can differ. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. These are unisex trainers, so consult the specific size guide for unisex footwear.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash the New Balance 1906X trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and the sole unit. Hand cleaning with a soft brush, mild soap, and water is the preferred method.

What is the primary benefit of the N-ergy technology?

The N-ergy technology in the sole unit is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, helping to reduce impact forces on your feet and joints during movement.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The 1906X features an open-holed mesh upper, which prioritizes breathability. This means they are not waterproof and are best suited for dry conditions.

What is the difference between ACTEVA LITE and ABZORB SBS?

ACTEVA LITE is a lightweight foam cushioning that provides flexibility. ABZORB SBS is specifically used in pods at the heel to offer enhanced shock absorption and a cushioned landing.

Where can I find other colorways or sizes?

You can explore other available colorways and sizes through the New Balance website or authorized retailers. The specific product code (MPN: U190631U) may help in finding variations.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Try wearing them with thinner socks or consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to stretch slightly. If the tightness persists and is uncomfortable, check if a different size might be more suitable.

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure you are tying a secure knot. Consider using a double knot or trying different lacing techniques that provide a tighter hold.

Slight squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole, or within the shoe's construction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or ensuring all parts of the shoe are completely dry.

Mesh material feels abrasive

This is uncommon, but if the inner mesh feels rough, ensure there are no debris caught within the fabric. Wearing thicker socks might also provide additional comfort.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning and shock absorption from the advanced sole unit.
  • Breathable upper material for comfort during wear.
  • Unique, retro-inspired design that stands out.
  • Versatile for both athletic activities and casual wear.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.

Cons

  • The distinctive design might not appeal to everyone.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Open-holed mesh might not be ideal for very cold or wet conditions.
  • Specific sizing may vary slightly between individuals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The New Balance 1906X trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general athletic use and casual wear. They are compatible with most athletic socks. The unisex design makes them suitable for a wide range of individuals.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your 1906X trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the mesh and synthetic upper with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap diluted in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and clean them separately. Ensure they are fully dry before reinserting.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
