FAQs
Are the New Balance 1906R trainers suitable for running?
While they feature running-inspired technology and offer good cushioning, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light activity. For high-intensity or long-distance running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or consult the size guide provided by the retailer. Generally, measure your foot length and compare it to the chart for the corresponding UK size. This specific variant is UK adult size 6.5.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the trainers.
What is the main difference between the 1906 and 1906R models?
The 'R' designation often signifies updates or refinements to the original design, potentially including updated materials, colorways, or minor performance enhancements. Both share a similar heritage aesthetic and core technologies.
How do the ACTEVA LITE and N-ergy technologies work together?
ACTEVA LITE provides a lightweight and flexible base cushioning, while N-ergy is incorporated to absorb shock effectively and return energy, offering a comfortable and responsive experience.
Is this shoe good for people who stand all day?
Yes, the combination of ACTEVA LITE cushioning and ABZORB SBS heel pods provides significant comfort and support, making them a good option for individuals who spend long hours on their feet.
Troubleshooting
Initial tightness or discomfort
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit or ensuring the laces are adjusted appropriately.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try slightly loosening the laces or check for any foreign objects trapped in the sole. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Mesh material appears dirty
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Poor grip on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The grip may vary on extremely wet or polished surfaces.
