FAQs
How do I protect my 'Khaki Suede' trainers from water and stains?
It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray before their first wear and to reapply periodically. This creates a protective barrier against moisture and stains.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
Suede is not naturally waterproof. While a protector spray helps, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and stains to the material.
What is the best way to clean dirt off the suede?
For dry dirt or dust, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently brush it away. Always brush in one direction to maintain the suede's nap.
Are these New Balance 1906R trainers suitable for athletic activities like running?
While New Balance has a strong athletic heritage, the 1906R series, particularly with a suede upper, is primarily designed for lifestyle, casual wear, and everyday comfort rather than high-performance running or intense sports.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
New Balance 1906R trainers generally fit true to size for adults. This specific variant is a UK size 10. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape, so checking your usual size for New Balance is recommended.
How often should I clean my suede trainers?
Regular maintenance is key. Light brushing after a few wears can prevent dirt buildup. Deep cleaning or stain removal should be done as needed, immediately after a spill for best results.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted after wear.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap in a consistent direction. This helps to lift dirt and restore the original texture and vibrancy of the suede.
Small dirt marks or scuffs appear on the suede.
Carefully use a suede eraser (often found in suede care kits) to gently rub the affected area. Follow up with a suede brush to smooth the nap.
Trainers feel slightly uncomfortable or rub.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Sometimes trainers need a brief 'break-in' period. If discomfort persists, verify that the UK size 10 is indeed the correct and most comfortable size for your feet.
Suede has a water stain.
If the stain is fresh, blot it immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. Once dry, gently brush the area with a suede brush. For older or more stubborn water stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary.

Material Care: Suede
Suede is a delicate material that requires special attention to maintain its appearance. Follow these steps for best results:
- Protection (Before First Wear):
- Apply a high-quality suede protector spray to the entire surface. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Allow it to dry completely as per product instructions.
- Regular Cleaning (Dry):
- Use a suede brush (with brass or nylon bristles) to gently brush off loose dirt, dust, and mud. Always brush in the same direction to maintain the nap's texture.
- For scuffs or matted areas, gently rub with the suede brush or a suede eraser.
- Spot Cleaning (Wet Stains):
- For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain.
- Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap.
- For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used according to its instructions.
- Drying:
- If the trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper or shoe trees to help them retain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the suede.
- Storage:
- Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
What to Avoid:
- Machine Washing: Never machine wash suede trainers.
- Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or abrasive materials.
- Excessive Water: Suede is not waterproof; minimize exposure to heavy rain or puddles.
