FAQs

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam material that provides excellent cushioning and compression resistance. It helps absorb impact forces, giving your child a more comfortable and protected stride.

Are these shoes suitable for all types of sports?

The New Balance 1906 GS is designed for general active wear, playground activities, and light sports. While they offer good support and cushioning for daily use, for specialized sports, specific athletic footwear designed for that sport might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the white mesh upper?

To clean the white mesh, use a soft cloth or brush, lukewarm water, and a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap). Gently scrub the affected areas, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue. Air dry thoroughly away from direct heat.

Are these sneakers true to size?

New Balance generally runs true to size. However, foot shape and growth spurts can vary, especially for kids. It's always recommended to measure your child's foot and consult the New Balance size chart before purchasing.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

Yes, the New Balance 1906 GS series is available in a variety of colors and materials, including Pink, Black, and Grey variants. Check with your retailer for current availability.

What is the purpose of the TPU heel cage?

The TPU heel cage provides additional structural support and stability around the heel. This helps to secure the foot in place during movement, preventing excessive motion and contributing to overall comfort and safety during active play.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. Loosen or tighten them to achieve a comfortable, snug fit. Check sizing against New Balance's size guide; kids' feet grow quickly.

Foot discomfort after extended wear

Verify that the laces are not too tight, which can restrict circulation. Allow your child's feet to get accustomed to new shoes. If discomfort persists, consider checking for proper sizing or consulting a foot specialist.

Shoes getting dirty quickly (especially white)

Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used. Avoid letting mud or dirt dry on the shoes as it can be harder to remove. Consider applying a shoe protector spray suitable for mesh and synthetic materials.

Laces frequently come untied

Teach your child how to double-knot their laces for extra security. You can also consider replacing standard laces with ones that have more grip or a slightly rougher texture if this becomes a persistent issue.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your New Balance 1906 GS sneakers is straightforward:

  1. Unpack: Remove the sneakers from their packaging.
  2. Lace Up: Undo the laces, insert your child's foot, and tighten the laces for a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure the tongue is centered and there are no pressure points.
  3. Adjust: Double-knot the laces to prevent them from coming undone during play.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Specifically designed for older kids.
  • Gender: Unisex design, suitable for all children.
  • Activities: Ideal for daily wear, school, playground activities, light sports, and general active use.
  • Terrain: Suitable for various urban and recreational surfaces due to the grippy Nergy outsole.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of these sneakers:

  • Cleaning: For the mesh upper and synthetic overlays, gently wipe dirt and scuffs with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
  • Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers if needed.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
