FAQs
Are New Balance 1906R shoes suitable for serious running?
While the 1906R features advanced cushioning like ACTEVA LITE and ABZORB, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. It offers excellent comfort and support for everyday wear and light activities, but for serious or high-performance running, dedicated running shoe models from New Balance would be more appropriate.
How should I clean my New Balance 1906R shoes?
To clean your 1906R shoes, gently brush off any loose dirt. Then, use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with a mild soap and water solution to wipe down the mesh and synthetic surfaces. For the outsole, a stiffer brush can be used. Always air dry your shoes completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
What is the benefit of ACTEVA LITE cushioning?
ACTEVA LITE is a premium foam compound developed by New Balance that provides lightweight, flexible, and resilient cushioning. It contributes to the shoe's overall comfort, helping to absorb impact and provide a responsive feel without adding excessive weight.
What are ABZORB pods and how do they work?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology that combines foam with a compression set. The segmented ABZORB pods in the 1906R's midsole are strategically placed to offer superior shock absorption and dissipate impact forces effectively, enhancing overall comfort and protection.
What is the typical fit of the 1906R model?
The New Balance 1906R generally offers a true-to-size and comfortable fit. However, foot shapes can vary, so it's always recommended to try them on to ensure the best personal fit. Consider wearing your typical socks when trying them on.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy or wet conditions?
The 1906R features an open-holed mesh upper designed for breathability, which means it is not waterproof. Wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions may lead to wet feet and could potentially affect the shoe's materials over time. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
What does '1906R' signify in the model name?
The '1906' refers to the year New Balance was founded, honoring the brand's rich heritage. While the 'R' is not officially defined by New Balance for this specific model, it commonly denotes 'Re-engineered' or 'Refined' in their nomenclature, indicating a modern update or twist on a classic or archival design.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmer. For a looser fit, ease the tension. Different sock thicknesses can also impact fit; try a thinner or thicker sock as needed.
My shoes are making a squeaking sound.
This is often caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Remove the insole, clean any debris underneath, and try reinserting it. A small amount of baby powder or cornstarch applied under the insole can sometimes resolve the issue.
The mesh and synthetic materials are dirty.
Follow the care instructions: gently brush off loose dirt, then use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the affected areas. Always air dry completely.
The outsole grip seems reduced.
Check the outsole for embedded debris or excessive dirt. Clean it thoroughly with a brush and mild soap solution as per care instructions. Ensure the tread is clear for optimal traction.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your 1906R shoes:
- Remove Loose Dirt: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently remove any loose dirt or debris from the mesh, synthetics, and outsole.
- Clean Upper: Mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap or laundry detergent) with cool water. Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe down the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid scrubbing aggressively.
- Clean Outsole: For the grippy outsole, you can use a stiffer brush and the soap solution to remove embedded dirt and maintain traction.
- Rinse & Dry: Wipe away any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash or put them in a dryer.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the materials and colors.
