FAQs

Are the New Balance 1906R trainers unisex?

Yes, this model is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all adult users.

Can I use these for intense sports?

While they feature high-performance cushioning, the 1906R is classified as a lifestyle trainer, making it best for walking and casual activities rather than competitive sports.

How should I clean the white portions of the shoe?

Use a specialized white sneaker cleaner and a soft sponge, applying gentle pressure to avoid discoloring the surrounding brown accents.

Do these shoes provide good arch support?

The combination of ABZORB SBS pods and N-ergy technology provides a stable base that offers balanced support throughout the footbed.

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash the 1906R, as the mechanical action and heat can damage the layered overlays and the integrity of the foam cushioning.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt trapped in the mesh or overlays

Use a dry, soft brush to agitate the dirt, then follow with a damp cloth or a specialised sneaker cleaning solution.

Feelings of stiffness in the midsole

The ACTEVA LITE foam may feel firmer when new. Wear them for a few days of light walking to allow the cushioning system to flex and break in properly.

Pros and Cons

  • Stable heel support provided by segmented ABZORB pods

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 1906R trainers maintain their performance and appearance, follow these guidelines:

  1. Breaking In: These trainers generally feature a comfortable fit right out of the box, but wearing them for short periods initially will help the materials mold to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the mesh panels. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and cold water solution, taking care not to submerge the shoes completely.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive components.
  4. Storage: Keep them in a dry, ventilated place to prevent moisture buildup within the cushioning layers.
