FAQs

Are the New Balance 1906R suitable for marathon running?

The 1906R offers excellent cushioning and support, making it suitable for many runners. However, for marathon distances, dedicated long-distance running shoes with specific marathon-focused features might be preferred by some athletes for maximum performance and endurance.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The shoe should feel snug but not constricting. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Ensure the heel doesn't slip excessively during normal walking.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, mesh, and cushioning technologies. Hand cleaning with a soft brush and appropriate cleaners is the best method.

What is the primary benefit of the N-ergy and ABZORB SBS technology?

These technologies work together to provide superior shock absorption and stability, particularly in the heel. This helps to reduce impact on your joints and enhance overall comfort during high-impact activities.

How often should I clean my 1906R trainers?

Clean them as needed, especially after particularly dirty use or if you notice significant dust or mud. Regular spot cleaning can help maintain their appearance and longevity.

What makes the 1906R different from other New Balance trainers like the 2002R?

While sharing similar design philosophies and technologies (like the N-ergy and ABZORB cushioning), the 1906R often features specific upper constructions and sole unit variations that differentiate its performance feel and aesthetic from models like the 2002R.

Is the suede material treated to be water-resistant?

The suede is a natural material and typically offers some minor resistance, but it is not inherently waterproof. For significant exposure to wet conditions, consider using a suede protector spray.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, wear with thinner socks or consider a professional stretching service. Allow for a natural break-in period.

Suede material looks dull or stained

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth, dabbing gently. Test cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

While durable, cushioning can degrade with heavy use. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use case for these trainers. Regular cleaning can help maintain performance.

Mesh appears to be snagging

Be mindful of sharp objects or rough surfaces that could catch the mesh. If a small snag occurs, try to avoid pulling at it further. For larger tears, professional repair might be necessary.
