FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the 1906X sole unit?

The sole unit combines ACTEVA LITE cushioning for lightness, N-ergy for shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods in the heel for enhanced comfort and stability.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The 1906X is designed primarily for comfort and lifestyle wear, with capabilities for light athletic activities. They are not optimized for high-impact or long-distance running.

How does the open-holed mesh affect comfort?

The open-holed mesh provides excellent ventilation, keeping your feet cool and dry, especially during warmer weather or prolonged wear.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the synthetic overlays offer some protection, the open mesh upper is not waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in wet conditions. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. These trainers are designed for unisex adult fit. The provided size is UK 8.5.

What is the main design influence of the 1906X?

The design draws inspiration from the era's high-performance heritage running shoes, refined with modern aesthetics and technological execution.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from open-holed mesh with curvilinear synthetic overlays for support and style.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness on first wear

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help.

Mesh upper feels too breathable in cold weather

Consider wearing thicker socks or opt for a different shoe model designed for colder conditions.

Minor scuffs on synthetic overlays

Gently clean with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a non-abrasive shoe cleaner specifically for synthetics may be used cautiously.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear across genders. They are designed for general use and light athletic activities. Not compatible with specialized sports equipment that requires specific footwear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
