FAQs

Is the New Balance 1906L a running shoe?

No, while inspired by the original 1906 runner, the 1906L is a lifestyle, slip-on loafer designed for casual wear and comfort, not athletic performance.

How do I determine my correct size?

The New Balance 1906L Raincloud is listed in UK shoe sizes. Refer to New Balance's official sizing chart for conversions and measure your foot length to find the best match. Trying them on in person is also recommended if possible.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials (leather, suede, mesh) and the cushioning technology. Hand clean using the care instructions provided.

What is the primary difference between the 1906L and the original 1906R?

The 1906L is a lifestyle slip-on loafer variant, featuring a cross strap and a more casual design. The original 1906R is a lace-up performance running shoe with a different silhouette and intended use.

How durable is the cushioning system?

The ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning systems are designed for durability and long-lasting comfort in lifestyle applications. Regular care will help maintain their performance.

What is the purpose of the leather strap across the toe?

The leather strap serves a dual purpose: it contributes to the loafer aesthetic and provides a secure fit across the forefoot, enhancing the slip-on design's stability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

While these are slip-ons, the fit can vary. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If slightly tight, wear them for short periods to allow the materials to adapt. If significantly loose, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Squeaking noise when walking.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. It may be due to moisture between the insole and midsole, or where parts of the shoe rub. Ensure the insoles are dry and properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can sometimes help.

Discoloration on suede or mesh.

Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or direct sunlight. If discoloration occurs, try spot cleaning with a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, and allow to air dry.

Compatibility: This shoe is designed as a lifestyle footwear item and is compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual dresses. It is not designed for technical athletic activities.

Care Instructions:

Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and suede components, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoe.
Leather Components: Wipe leather straps and overlays with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
Midsole: The ABZORB and N-ergy midsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the suede panels.
