FAQs
Are the New Balance 1906L trainers waterproof?
The suede upper is not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. While they offer some resistance to light splashes, they are not designed for use in wet conditions.
Can I wear these for actual running?
While they incorporate athletic shoe technology for comfort and support, the 1906L is designed as a lifestyle hybrid shoe. They are suitable for walking and general daily activities but not recommended for rigorous athletic training or competitive running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.
What is the main difference between these and a traditional loafer?
The 1906L trainers incorporate design elements and cushioning technology inspired by New Balance running shoes, such as the N-ergy outsole and ABZORB SBS heel pods, offering enhanced comfort and a sporty aesthetic not found in traditional loafers.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or keeping them in their original box can help maintain their shape and protect the suede material.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The product information does not specify width options. It is recommended to check individual retailer sizing guides or contact customer service for detailed fit information.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product and follow its instructions carefully, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning comfort
The ABZORB SBS heel pods provide cushioning. Ensure the shoe fits correctly. Over time, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use; consider replacing the shoes if comfort is significantly diminished.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the N-ergy rubber outsole to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the shoe is not exposed to excessive moisture, which can impact any rubber sole's traction.
