FAQs
What age group are these New Balance 1906 Trainers designed for?
These specific New Balance 1906 trainers (MPN: GC1906CJ, UK Size 5) are designed and sized for children.
Can my child wear these trainers for sports and athletic activities?
Yes, with their N-ergy outsole and ABZORB SBS cushioning, these trainers are well-suited for various athletic activities, providing excellent shock absorption and comfort during play and movement.
How should I clean the New Balance 1906 trainers?
We recommend spot cleaning with a soft cloth or brush, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the mesh and nylon areas. Do not machine wash or tumble dry; always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these shoes true to size for children?
New Balance sizing can sometimes vary. It is always recommended to refer to the official New Balance Kids' size chart if available, and measure your child's foot for the most accurate fit. This variant is a UK Kids' Size 5.
What do 'N-ergy outsole' and 'ABZORB SBS cushioning' mean?
The N-ergy outsole is a New Balance technology designed for advanced shock absorption and energy return. ABZORB SBS cushioning is a dense foam material that provides superior cushioning and responsiveness, offering enhanced comfort and impact protection.
Are these trainers suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, the New Balance 1906 Trainers feature a unisex design, making them a great choice for both boys and girls.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose for my child.
First, confirm you have the correct UK Kids' Size 5 for your child. Ensure they are wearing appropriate socks. For tightness, try loosening the laces or re-lacing them. For looseness, try a different lacing pattern or a thicker sock. Remember, this specific model is for children, not adults.
My child's feet are sweating excessively.
While the trainers have breathable mesh, ensure your child is wearing moisture-wicking or breathable socks. Allow the shoes to air out after each wear, and consider using a child-friendly foot powder if the issue persists.
The trainers are getting dirty quickly.
Regular spot cleaning is key. For nylon and mesh, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. Promptly clean off mud or dirt before it sets in. Avoid machine washing to prevent damage to materials and cushioning.
The cushioning feels less effective over time.
Cushioning materials can compress over prolonged use. While N-ergy and ABZORB SBS are durable, consistent heavy use by active children can lead to gradual wear. This is normal, but ensure the shoes are still providing adequate support for your child's activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your New Balance 1906 Trainers is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are tied securely but not too tightly. For younger children, consider double-knotting or using elastic laces for easier wear.
- Fit Check: Have your child walk around in the shoes. Check that there's about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that their heel doesn't slip excessively.
Compatibility
- Age Group: These trainers are designed for kids.
- Gender: Unisex design, suitable for both boys and girls.
- Outfits: Perfectly compatible with athletic wear (shorts, leggings, tracksuits) and casual attire (jeans, joggers, dresses).
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For dirt and minor stains, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the affected areas.
- Deep Cleaning (Mesh/Nylon): For a more thorough clean, create a solution of mild detergent and water. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to lightly scrub the mesh and nylon. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Rinsing: Wipe away any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers. Do not place them in a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage materials and adhesives. Stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow shoes to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
