Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 1906X trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of high-performance heritage and modern comfort. Their key benefit lies in the advanced sole unit providing excellent cushioning and shock absorption. A potential consideration is the open-holed mesh upper, which offers breathability but may be less ideal in wet conditions. Key features include ACTEVA LITE cushioning, N-ergy shock absorption, ABZORB SBS heel pods, and a distinctive upper design with open-holed mesh and curvilinear overlays.

FAQs

What makes the sole unit special?

The sole unit features a combination of ACTEVA LITE cushioning for lightness and flexibility, N-ergy technology for shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods in the heel for enhanced stability and comfort.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer excellent cushioning and support for walking and daily activities, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and trainers rather than dedicated running shoes. For intense running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing guide, which typically involves measuring your foot length. The product description also lists available UK sizes.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning as per the care instructions is advised.

What is the main aesthetic inspiration?

The design is inspired by the era's design conventions, offering a refined execution of high-performance heritage, featuring distinctive curvilinear synthetic overlays and open-holed mesh.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper primarily features open-holed mesh for breathability, complemented by a series of curvilinear synthetic overlays for structure and support.

Troubleshooting

Initial stiffness or discomfort

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The cushioning and materials will adapt to your foot shape over time.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might be hindering the sole's performance. For significant degradation, consider replacement.

Upper becoming wet in rain

The open-holed mesh offers limited water resistance. Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for athletic footwear before exposure to wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: The 1906X is designed for general adult use. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic attire. They are suitable for individuals who prioritize comfort and support in their footwear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
