FAQs

Are the New Balance 1906L Loafers suitable for athletic activities?

No, while they incorporate athletic cushioning technology for comfort, their design is intended for casual and fashion wear, not high-impact sports or running.

How do I clean the mesh and synthetic parts of the shoe?

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently wipe the mesh and synthetic areas. Avoid excessive water and allow to air dry.

What is the main difference between the 1906L Loafer and the original 1906 sneaker?

The 1906L Loafer reimagines the 1906 sneaker's silhouette into a slip-on loafer style, removing laces and adding a saddle strap, while retaining its athletic cushioning.

Can I wear these loafers in wet conditions?

While the shoes offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their materials.

What does 'Angora' refer to in the color description?

'Angora' refers to a specific shade of light, off-white or beige color used for the mesh vamp of the shoe, providing a contrast to the black.

How does the ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning work?

ABZORB provides cushioning and shock absorption, while N-ergy technology enhances energy return, working together to offer comfort and support throughout the day.

Are these loafers available in other sizes or colors?

The New Balance 1906L Loafer is available in various sizes and colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Allow for a natural break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. If persistent, consider if the size is correct or if insoles are needed.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Check if any part of the sole is wet or if there's an issue with the insole. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Mesh material is dirty

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and mild soap diluted in water. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Leather overlays scuffed

Use a leather conditioner to mask minor scuffs. For deeper scuffs, a color-matched leather repair kit might be necessary.
