FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

While the 1906 offers excellent cushioning and energy return, they are best suited for shorter runs, training sessions, or everyday wear. For dedicated long-distance running, consider models specifically designed for that purpose.

How do the different technologies (ABZORB, N-Ergy, etc.) benefit the wearer?

ABZORB absorbs shock, N-Ergy returns energy to aid propulsion, N-durance provides sole durability, and Stability Web offers midfoot support during dynamic movements.

Can I wear these with socks other than athletic ones?

Yes, the ORTHOLITE sockliner and breathable upper make them comfortable for wear with various sock types, including thinner casual socks, for everyday use.

How should I choose the right size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing guide. For this specific model (UK 11), ensure it matches your foot measurement. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.

What is the main difference between the 1906 and other New Balance trainers?

The 1906 series typically combines advanced running tech with a distinct retro aesthetic inspired by older models, offering a unique blend for both performance and style.

Are the "Graphite" trainers waterproof?

The synthetic upper provides some resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not waterproof. They are not designed for wear in heavy rain or wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness on first wear

The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to mold to your foot.

Reduced cushioning over time

While technologies like ABZORB are durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider rotating trainers if used daily for intense activities.

Discoloration on the upper

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male foot sizes, particularly UK 11 in this specific "Graphite" variant. They are compatible with athletic apparel for training and casual wear.

Care:
