FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the 1906L Trainers feature a performance-oriented sole unit, their hybrid design is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear, not for intense athletic training like running.

How do I determine my UK size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, which typically provides conversions for US, European, and UK shoe sizes based on foot length.

Can I wear these with formal attire?

The 1906L Trainers are designed to bridge the gap between athletic and formal wear. They are best suited for smart-casual settings rather than very formal occasions.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper features an open holed mesh with curvilinear synthetic overlays.

How does the ABZORB SBS cushioning work?

ABZORB SBS is a cushioning technology that provides enhanced shock absorption and comfort, particularly in the heel area, to reduce impact during wear.

Is this product available in other colors?

The New Balance 1906L series is available in several color combinations, including variations of grey, black, and other accent colors. Please check product listings for specific availability.

How do I clean the mesh part of the shoe?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the mesh. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort on first wear

New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to dry completely before re-lacing.

Slight color transfer

Some color transfer may occur, especially with darker colors. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until the shoes have been worn a few times.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear upon purchase.

Compatibility:

The 1906L Trainers are designed for unisex adult wear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual clothing.

Care:

To maintain the appearance and integrity of your New Balance 1906L Trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the open holed mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  2. Sole Maintenance: Use a brush to remove dirt and debris from the sole unit. For tougher stains on the sole, a specialized shoe cleaner can be used sparingly.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
