FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the 1906X trainers?
The 1906X trainers are designed for comfort and support, blending high-performance technology with a heritage aesthetic, making them ideal for daily wear and light activities.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While they offer good cushioning and support, the 1906X is primarily intended for casual wear and light training. For marathon running, specialized running shoes designed for high mileage and performance may be more appropriate.
How do I find the correct size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided by New Balance. The product description specifies UK size 8.5 for this variant, but other sizes are available.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash using a mild soap and cool water solution, and air dry to preserve the materials and structure.
What is the main difference between ACTEVA LITE and ABZORB SBS?
ACTEVA LITE provides lightweight, flexible cushioning throughout the midsole. ABZORB SBS is specifically integrated into the heel to offer enhanced shock absorption and stability.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The mesh upper offers breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture, but not for heavy rain or wet environments.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear.
New Balance trainers, especially those with performance features, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Discomfort on the heel.
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly to provide adequate support. The ABZORB SBS pods are designed for support, but proper fit is crucial.
Mesh appears dirty or stained.
Refer to the care instructions for cleaning the mesh upper. Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, and allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The 1906X trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult use and are suitable for a range of activities, from casual wear to light fitness routines. They are compatible with athletic or casual attire.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap to gently clean the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
