FAQs

What is the primary intended use for the New Balance 1906R 'Sea Salt True Red'?

The 1906R is designed primarily for everyday casual wear and lifestyle activities, offering comfort and style inspired by vintage running shoe aesthetics.

How does the ABZORB technology benefit the wearer?

ABZORB technology in the midsole and heel absorbs shock, providing cushioning and helping to reduce impact during wear, contributing to overall comfort.

Is this shoe suitable for intense running or athletic training?

While it incorporates running shoe technology, the 1906R is best suited for casual wear and light jogging rather than demanding athletic training sessions.

How should I clean the leather and mesh parts of the sneaker?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure they air dry naturally away from heat.

What does the 'Sea Salt True Red' colorway signify?

This refers to the specific color combination of the sneaker, featuring a predominantly white ('Sea Salt') upper with vibrant red accents.

Does the gum-rubber outsole provide good traction?

Yes, the gum-rubber outsole is designed to offer reliable traction on a variety of common surfaces, enhancing stability.

What is the inspiration behind the 1906R model?

The 1906R is inspired by running shoe technology from the early 21st century, blending those aesthetics with modern comfort and materials.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely. If the issue persists, consider double-knotting or replacing the laces with ones that offer better grip.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Try using different insoles for added comfort or support if needed. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially.

Squeaking sound from the shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area to reduce friction.

Minor scuffs on leather overlays

For light scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a specialized shoe cleaner designed for leather. For deeper scuffs, professional shoe repair may be necessary.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the leather and mesh components, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the rubber sole and midsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush may be used carefully.
  • Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or bag to protect them from dust and damage.
