FAQs
What is the primary design inspiration for the 1906R?
The 1906R is inspired by early-2000s performance running shoe technology and design, blending technical details with modern comfort and style.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While they offer excellent cushioning and support for walking and everyday wear, the 1906R is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer inspired by running heritage, not for competitive or high-mileage running.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher spots, use a specialized suede cleaner and a slightly damp cloth, being careful not to saturate the material. Always allow to air dry.
What type of support do these trainers offer?
They offer good underfoot support through the ABZORB midsole and heel cushioning, along with midfoot stability provided by the Stability Web shank.
Can I wear these with orthotics or custom insoles?
The standard insole can often be removed to accommodate custom orthotics or insoles, but fit may vary depending on the size and shape of the orthotic.
What materials are used in the upper construction?
The upper is constructed with a breathable mesh base, layered with synthetic and suede-like overlays for structure and style.
How do the N-ergy and ABZORB technologies work together?
N-ergy provides enhanced shock absorption and energy return specifically in the heel, while ABZORB offers broader cushioning and responsive support throughout the midsole for overall comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Allow for a break-in period by wearing them for short durations initially. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider if this is the correct size or width for your foot.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but performance may be reduced on extremely slick or wet surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. These are not specialized wet-weather boots.
Suede appears dull or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid using water excessively on suede parts.
Reflective accents are not very noticeable.
The reflective accents are designed for subtle visibility in low light when directly hit by a light source. They are not intended to be highly luminous.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the suede.
- Mesh and Overlays: Wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water, then wipe clean.
