FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the N-ergy outsole?
The N-ergy outsole is designed for superior shock absorption and energy return, helping to reduce fatigue during wear and providing a responsive feel.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer athletic features and cushioning, the 1906A are primarily designed for everyday wear and light training. They are not specialized running shoes.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. Avoid water saturation and harsh chemicals. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'Stability Web' technology do?
Stability Web technology is integrated into the outsole to provide support and stability to the midfoot, allowing for more confident changes of direction.
Can these trainers be worn by women?
Yes, the New Balance 1906A Trainers feature a unisex design and are suitable for anyone looking for this style and comfort, though sizing is based on UK men's standards.
What is the main cushioning technology used?
The trainers utilize ACTEVA LITE for midsole cushioning and ABZORB SBS pods in the heel for enhanced shock absorption and comfort.
How do I ensure I get the right fit?
It is recommended to consult the New Balance sizing chart and consider your usual shoe size. Due to the unisex nature, paying attention to measurements or trying them on is advised.
Troubleshooting
Inconsistent Sizing
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and consider trying them on in person if possible. Check the specific UK size listed for this variant.
Suede material scuffing or staining
Use a suede eraser for minor scuffs. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Protect with a suede protector spray.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While designed for durability, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the ORTHOLITE sockliner is clean and properly seated.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a secure yet comfortable fit. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods initially.
