FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The New Balance 1906U trainers are designed primarily for everyday casual wear, comfort, and style. While they offer good support, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic sports.
How do I clean the Linen material?
For cleaning the Linen material, gently brush off loose dirt. For stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth to spot clean, dabbing gently. Do not machine wash or submerge them in water. Always air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
Are these trainers true to size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent. It's recommended to purchase your usual UK shoe size for adults. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Can women wear these trainers, even though they are listed for men?
While listed for men, footwear sizing is often unisex for casual styles like the 1906U. Women can certainly wear these trainers by converting their women's shoe size to the equivalent men's UK size. Focus on the fit and comfort.
What is the significance of the '1906U' designation?
The '1906' in the model name pays homage to the year New Balance was founded. The 'U' designation typically indicates a specific variant or update to the classic 1906 series, often referring to unique materials or styling, in this case, the distinctive Linen upper.
How do I prevent my trainers from smelling?
To prevent odors, allow your trainers to air out after each use, preferably in a well-ventilated area. You can also use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sachets, or cedar shoe inserts when the trainers are not in use. Ensure your socks are clean and breathable.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Check your lacing technique; loosening the laces can sometimes provide more comfort. Wear appropriate socks.
Foot odor is developing.
Allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers, cedar inserts, or placing baking soda packets inside when not in use. Replace insoles if they are removable and washable.
Linen material appears dirty or stained.
Follow the spot cleaning instructions using a mild soap or linen cleaner and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing. Ensure trainers are fully dry before wearing.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath, then reinsert the insole.
Material showing signs of wear or fraying.
Regular cleaning and proper storage can help. Avoid activities that put excessive stress on the material. If wear is significant, consider professional repair or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your New Balance 1906U Trainers is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly and tied securely to provide optimal foot support and comfort. Adjust tightness for a snug, but not restrictive, fit.

- Activities: Best suited for daily wear, urban exploration, casual walks, and social outings. They are not designed for rigorous athletic training or demanding sports.
Care Instructions
Proper care for your Linen New Balance 1906U trainers will help maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust with a soft-bristled brush after each wear.
- Spot Cleaning: For stains, use a mild soap or a dedicated linen cleaner diluted in cool water. Apply with a clean cloth, gently dabbing the stained area. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can spread the stain or damage the fabric.
- Air Dry: Always allow trainers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not put them in a dryer, as this can damage the material and adhesives.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the trainers in water, as this can damage the internal structure and materials.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
By following these simple care steps, you can keep your New Balance 1906U trainers looking their best for longer.
