FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 1906R trainers are designed for everyday comfort and light training. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with specific cushioning and support features are recommended.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or New Balance. Ensure your foot measurement is accurate, typically measured at the end of the day, for the best fit.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and shape of the shoe.
What is the main difference between the 1906R and other New Balance models?
The 1906R series often features specific cushioning technologies like ABZORB and N-ergy, combined with a distinct aesthetic that blends retro and modern design elements.
How long do the cushioning features typically last?
The lifespan of cushioning depends on usage frequency and intensity. For regular wear, the ABZORB and N-ergy technologies are designed for durability, but may gradually lose some responsiveness over extended periods (e.g., 1-2 years of consistent use).
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They feature a breathable mesh upper, which prioritizes ventilation over water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are evenly distributed. Consider wearing thinner socks or breaking in the shoes gradually over several days.
Slight discomfort in the arch
This can be common with new shoes. Try wearing them for shorter periods initially. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles for added arch support.
Traction seems reduced
Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris or wear. Clean the sole thoroughly with a brush and water. If the outsole is significantly worn down, the shoes may need replacement.
Discoloration on the upper
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If minor discoloration occurs, try gently cleaning the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to scrub away dirt from the midsole and rubber outsole. A mild soap and water solution can be used for tougher grime.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause shrinkage or material damage.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate washing by hand or in a laundry bag.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain colour and material integrity.
