FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 1906R features performance technology like N-ergy and ACTEVA LITE, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for walking and everyday wear.
How should I clean the white leather?
Clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush using mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents and never put leather trainers in a washing machine.
Does the 1906R run true to size?
The 1906R generally follows standard New Balance sizing, but the leather construction may feel slightly more snug than mesh versions during the first few wears.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles in the 1906R are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary difference between the 1906R and other models?
The 1906R distinguishes itself with the combination of ABZORB SBS heel pods and the signature curvilinear aesthetic that provides both distinct style and high-level cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Insole slippage during use
Ensure the insole is properly aligned and pressed down firmly into the heel cup before putting on the shoe.
Discoloration of the white finish
Use a dedicated leather-safe sneaker cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to gently lift stains from the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1906R remains in top condition, proper care is essential, especially given the leather components. If the shoes become soiled, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth immediately to prevent dirt from setting into the leather grain. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the specialized cushioning pods and the leather surface. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the white leather to yellow or dry out over time. If you use custom orthotics, the factory-installed insoles are removable to accommodate your specific arch support needs.
