FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for competitive sports?
The New Balance 1906 GS provides excellent cushioning and support for general active play and everyday wear. While durable, for highly specialized or competitive sports, specific sports shoes designed for those activities might offer targeted features.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot and compare it to the New Balance size chart. Ensure there's about a thumb's width space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
The mesh upper is highly breathable but not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles will likely result in wet feet.
What is the benefit of ABZORB and ABZORB SBS cushioning?
ABZORB cushioning in the midsole provides general shock absorption and softness. ABZORB SBS pods are specifically placed under the heel to enhance this cushioning, offering superior impact protection where it's most needed during activities.
How durable is the Nergy outsole?
The Nergy outsole is designed for durability and grip, providing long-lasting wear and reliable traction across various surfaces encountered during a child's active day.
Are these shoes heavy?
No, the New Balance 1906 GS features a lightweight design, particularly due to its breathable mesh upper, ensuring that it doesn't weigh down your child's feet during play.
Troubleshooting
Shoes get dirty quickly (especially white color).
Regularly wipe down the shoes after wear with a damp cloth. For stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse gently and air dry.
Laces frequently come undone.
Teach your child to double-knot their laces. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets to provide a more secure fit.
Child complains of feet feeling warm or sweaty.
Although the mesh upper is breathable, ensure your child wears moisture-wicking athletic socks. Also, check that the shoe size is correct and not too tight, as restricted airflow can contribute to warmth.
Shoes seem less supportive over time.
Over time, cushioning materials can compress. Ensure proper care, including avoiding machine washing, which can degrade materials. The lifespan of athletic shoes is also dependent on activity level.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior Cushioning: ABZORB and ABZORB SBS technologies provide exceptional comfort and shock absorption for active kids.
- Excellent Breathability: The mesh upper keeps feet cool and fresh throughout the day.
- Enhanced Support: TPU heel cage adds stability crucial for energetic play.
- Durable & Grippy Outsole: Nergy outsole ensures longevity and reliable traction.
- Stylish Retro Design: Appeals to kids and parents looking for a classic, fashionable sneaker.
Cons
- White Color Maintenance: The white color may show dirt and scuffs more easily, requiring frequent cleaning.
- Lace Closure: While secure, laces may require regular re-tying and could be a learning curve for some children.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the shoes are laced through all eyelets. Encourage your child to learn proper lacing techniques for a secure and comfortable fit.
- Fit Adjustment: Have your child try on the shoes with their usual socks. Adjust the laces to be snug but not tight, allowing for natural foot movement without excessive sliding.
Compatibility
- Age Group: Specifically designed for Older Kids, offering appropriate support and cushioning for their developmental stage.
- Activities: Ideal for everyday wear, playground activities, light sports, and casual outings. Its durable construction makes it suitable for varied terrains encountered during daily adventures.
- Socks: Best worn with athletic socks that wick moisture to maximize breathability and comfort.
Care
- Cleaning the Mesh Upper: Gently wipe dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) and a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well) to gently scrub the affected area. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove mud and debris from the Nergy outsole to maintain its grip.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage materials. Stuffing with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure, cushioning, and adhesives. Hand cleaning is always recommended.
