FAQs
Can I use these loafers for running or intense sports?
No, the New Balance 1906L Loafer is designed for casual and smart-casual wear, prioritizing comfort and style over athletic performance. It is not recommended for running or high-impact sports.
How do I determine my size?
The 1906L Loafer generally fits true to New Balance's standard UK sizing. We recommend checking your usual New Balance size. If you are unsure, consider measuring your foot length and consulting a New Balance size guide.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper features an open mesh base with curvilinear synthetic overlays, providing a balance of breathability, support, and the signature New Balance aesthetic.
Are the insoles removable?
Info needed: Please check your specific pair. While many New Balance shoes feature removable insoles for custom orthotics or cleaning, this can vary by model and specific design.
What kind of cushioning technology is included?
The 1906L Loafer incorporates N-ergy outsoles and segmented ABZORB SBS cushioning pods, borrowed from the New Balance 860v2, to provide superior shock absorption and comfort.
Are these loafers suitable for formal events?
While they possess formal design elements like the saddle straps, their overall 'formal yet technical' hybrid nature makes them more suitable for smart-casual or business-casual settings rather than strictly formal events.
Troubleshooting
Loafers feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. New Balance shoes generally run true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Consider wearing them for a short period to allow for a slight break-in.
Squeaking sound when walking
Sometimes, a squeak can be caused by moisture or debris between the insole and outsole. Remove the insole (if removable) and clean any accumulated dirt. If not, try walking on different surfaces to isolate the sound source.
Upper material appears stained or dirty
Use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently spot clean the affected area. For mesh sections, use a very soft brush. Air dry completely away from heat.
Foot feels less cushioned over time
The ABZORB SBS cushioning is designed for durability, but regular wear will lead to natural compression. Ensure you are allowing the shoes to air out properly after each use. Consider replacing insoles if removable and heavily worn.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 1906L Loafers.
- General Cleaning: For everyday dirt or dust, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry brush or cloth.
- Spot Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, lightly dampen a clean cloth with cold water and a mild soap (pH-neutral). Gently blot the affected area. Avoid scrubbing vigorously, especially on the mesh sections, to prevent damage.
- Drying: Always allow your loafers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your loafers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or fully submerge your loafers in water, as this can compromise the structural integrity and cushioning.
