FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they feature high-performance cushioning, the 1906R is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for walking and daily wear rather than for high-impact athletic running.

How do I clean the white sections of the trainer?

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft cloth for the leather parts, and a soft brush with soapy water for the mesh, taking care not to saturate the materials.

Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?

The 1906R generally follows standard New Balance sizing. If you have owned the brand before, your usual size should be the best starting point.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional support.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the shoes utilize open-holed mesh which is designed for breathability. They are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Mesh upper is holding dirt or dust

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently agitate the mesh, then use a can of compressed air or a gentle vacuum attachment to remove the loosened particles.

Shoes feel slightly tight after long walks

This is normal as feet naturally swell. Ensure you have the correct size and try loosening the lacing system to distribute pressure across the top of the foot.

Creasing on the leather overlays

Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structural shape of the trainer and reduce deep creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature a combination of leather and open-holed mesh, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan.

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh panels. For the leather overlays, use a damp cloth and mild, neutral soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Direct heat, such as radiators or hair dryers, can damage the cushioning materials and cause leather to crack.
  3. Fit: These trainers are available in various UK sizes. It is recommended to ensure a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot expansion during the day.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
