FAQs
Are these New Balance 1906 Trainers suitable for running?
While providing excellent comfort and cushioning, the New Balance 1906 Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light daily activities, not high-performance running or intense athletic training. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the different materials on these trainers?
For mesh and synthetic overlays, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush or eraser. Always air dry away from direct heat and avoid saturating suede with water.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
New Balance 1906 Trainers generally fit true to standard New Balance sizing. It's recommended to choose your usual New Balance size. If you are unsure, refer to a New Balance size guide or try them on.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
Due to the mesh and suede components, these trainers are not designed for wet weather conditions. Exposure to rain or excessive moisture can stain suede and compromise the integrity of the materials. It's best to wear them in dry conditions.
What kind of activities are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for everyday casual wear, city walks, light strolls, and complementing your daily fashion. They provide excellent comfort for situations involving standing or walking for extended periods.
Do they offer good arch support?
Yes, the New Balance 1906 Trainers incorporate ACTEVA LITE Midsole Cushioning and ABZORB SBS Heel Cushioning, which together provide a comfortable and supportive experience, including a degree of arch support suitable for general daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow for a brief 'break-in' period, as materials may soften with wear. Check lacing to ensure it's not too restrictive. Consider wearing thinner socks initially.
Material (especially mesh or suede) appears stained or dirty.
Immediately spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap (for mesh/synthetic) or a suede brush/eraser (for suede). Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, especially on suede.
Squeaking sound when walking.
> Info needed: Squeaking can be caused by various factors, including the insole rubbing against the sole, moisture inside the shoe, or friction points in the outsole. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of baby powder underneath it. If the issue persists, consult a shoe care specialist.
Outsole seems to be losing grip.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Ensure the tread pattern is not excessively worn. If wear is significant, the outsole's performance will naturally diminish.
Pros and Cons

- Durable Construction: High-quality mesh, synthetic, and leather overlays ensure the shoe can withstand regular use.

Cons
- Maintenance Intensive: The multi-material upper, especially suede and mesh, requires specific care to keep it clean and prevent damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Use & Setup
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the trainers from their packaging.
- Initial Fit Check: Try on both trainers. Ensure there's about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Walk around briefly to check for any pressure points or discomfort. New Balance 1906 Trainers generally offer a standard fit, consistent with typical New Balance sizing.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Avoid lacing too tightly, which can restrict circulation, or too loosely, which can cause instability.
Compatibility
- Foot Type: These trainers are designed for general wear and comfort across various foot types. They offer neutral support.
- Activities: Best suited for casual wear, walking, and light daily activities. Not recommended for high-impact sports or extensive running.
- Wardrobe: Their versatile neutral color palette (grey, green, pink, cream) makes them highly compatible with a wide array of casual and smart-casual clothing.
Care Instructions
Maintaining the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 1906 Trainers requires specific care due to their mixed materials:
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth using a mild soap solution.
- Suede Care: For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid getting suede wet as it can stain and harden.
- Leather Care: Wipe leather sections with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a leather cleaner or conditioner may be used sparingly, following product instructions.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not use direct heat (like radiators or hair dryers) as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Deep Cleaning (Caution): For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated sneaker cleaning kit appropriate for multi-material shoes. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
