FAQs

Are the New Balance 1906A suitable for running marathons?

While the 1906A offers excellent cushioning and support, they are primarily designed as trainers that blend performance with lifestyle aesthetics. For dedicated marathon running, specialized running shoes with features tailored for long-distance impact and specific gait support might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the distressed leather elements?

Use a soft brush or a lightly damp cloth to clean the distressed leather. Avoid using harsh cleaners or excessive water, which can alter the distressed appearance. For stubborn marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

What makes the ACTEVA LITE cushioning different?

ACTEVA LITE is a New Balance foam compound that is lighter and more resilient than traditional EVA, offering superior cushioning and durability without adding significant weight to the shoe.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

The open-holed mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet environments. Water may seep through the mesh.

What is the purpose of the TPU heel cage?

The TPU heel cage provides structural support to the heel, enhancing stability and ensuring a secure fit. It helps to lock the foot in place, reducing slippage during movement.

How does the Stability Web arch technology benefit the wearer?

The Stability Web is an arch support technology integrated into the midsole that provides torsional rigidity and support to the midfoot, helping to prevent pronation and maintain a stable stride.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.

Traction feels inconsistent on certain surfaces

Check the N-ergy outsole for any debris or dirt that might be affecting grip. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. The traction is designed for a variety of surfaces, but extreme conditions might affect performance.

Mesh upper appears dirty or stained

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Blot with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid excessive scrubbing to prevent damage to the material.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. Their design is versatile, making them compatible with a range of casual and athletic wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and synthetic leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, especially on the distressed areas.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt on the outsole, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes 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, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
