FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the New Balance 1906R?
The New Balance 1906R is designed primarily for everyday casual wear, offering comfort and style with a nod to classic running shoe aesthetics.
How does the ABZORB technology benefit the wearer?
ABZORB technology in the midsole and heel provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints, and offering a responsive, cushioned feel.
Is the 'Sea Salt True Red' colorway suitable for all occasions?
The 'Sea Salt True Red' colorway offers a modern yet classic look, making it versatile for casual outings, daily commutes, and athleisure wear.
What is the best way to clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic training or running?
While inspired by running shoes, the 1906R is best suited for casual wear and light activities. For intense athletic training or long-distance running, consider shoes specifically designed for those purposes.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
It's recommended to consult New Balance's official sizing chart and measure your foot. Trying them on if possible is ideal, as fit can vary based on foot width and shape.
What is the benefit of the gum-rubber outsole?
The gum-rubber outsole is chosen for its durability and reliable traction, providing a good grip on various surfaces encountered during daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Consult the New Balance sizing guide and consider trying different sizes, as foot shape and width can affect fit. Many users find it helpful to measure their feet accurately before purchasing.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear and a soft cloth. For minor scuffs, a specialized leather eraser or shoe polish in a matching color can help restore the appearance.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning technologies are designed for durability, but their perceived effectiveness can diminish with heavy use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended casual purpose.
Traction on wet surfaces is reduced
The gum-rubber outsole provides good grip, but like all outsoles, traction can be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Sole Maintenance: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush or damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before storage.
