FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the New Balance 1906L's hybrid design?

The hybrid design allows the shoe to transition seamlessly between casual and more refined settings, offering both comfort and style without needing to change footwear.

How do I clean the suede material on the 1906L?

For general cleaning, use a suede brush to remove dust. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid getting the suede wet.

Is the 1906L suitable for running or intense sports?

While inspired by athletic heritage and featuring cushioning, the 1906L is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and moderate activity. It is not intended for high-impact sports or rigorous training.

What type of comfort features does this shoe offer?

The 1906L includes ABZORB SBS heel pods for enhanced cushioning and shock absorption, along with an N-ergy rubber outsole for comfort and durability during everyday wear.

What is the difference between the 1906 and 1906L models?

The 1906L specifically reimagines the iconic 1906 silhouette into a loafer-inspired design, blending athletic elements with traditional loafer styling, whereas the standard 1906 typically refers to the original running shoe silhouette.

Can this shoe be worn by both men and women?

Yes, the New Balance 1906L is designed as a unisex model, suitable for adults of any gender.

What material is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of N-ergy rubber, providing durability and reliable traction.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner following the manufacturer's instructions.

Laces feel loose or untied easily

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Check for excessive wear on the laces.

Sole provides less grip than expected

Clean the N-ergy rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Consider if insoles are needed for additional arch support.
