Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 1906R trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of early 2000s running heritage and modern comfort for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the advanced cushioning technology that provides excellent shock absorption and flexibility. A potential caveat is that while engineered for performance, they are primarily intended for casual and light athletic use, not intense, specialized sports. This iteration reimagines a classic silhouette with a focus on comfort and style, featuring a mesh, suede, and leather upper, and an N-ERGY midsole combined with ACTEVA LITE cushioning and ABZORB SBS pods in the heel.

FAQs
Are the New Balance 1906R suitable for running marathons?
The 1906R is designed with heritage running aesthetics and modern comfort features for everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning for light jogging and walking, they are not specifically engineered for the high-performance demands of marathon running.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to refer to New Balance's official size guide. If possible, try on the shoes to ensure a comfortable fit, as sizing can vary slightly between models and individuals. Consider the width of your foot as well.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for the New Balance 1906R. The combination of mesh, suede, and leather requires specific cleaning methods to avoid damage. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' for proper cleaning techniques.
What is the main difference between the 1906R and other New Balance trainers?
The 1906R is distinguished by its specific early 2000s running shoe design, enhanced with advanced N-ERGY and ABZORB cushioning technologies, offering a blend of retro style and modern comfort for everyday use.
How durable are the New Balance 1906R trainers?
The trainers are constructed with a mix of durable materials like suede, leather, and mesh, designed for everyday wear. With proper care, they offer good longevity for casual use and light athletic activities.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The 1906R trainers are not waterproof. They feature mesh panels for breathability, which means they are not designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if the laces need adjustment. For a slightly snug fit, try loosening the laces around the midfoot.
Squeaking noise from the sole.
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or on smooth surfaces. Try wearing them on different surfaces or ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the issue persists, it may be a manufacturing anomaly.
Dirt or scuffs on the upper.
Consult the 'Care Instructions' section above. Use appropriate cleaners for mesh, suede, and leather. For scuffs on the midsole, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are difficult to tie or come undone.
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly and tied securely. If the laces are worn or slippery, consider replacing them with a different type of lace that offers better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Uppers: For the mesh, suede, and leather upper, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized shoe cleaner appropriate for these materials. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
- Cleaning Midsoles and Outsoles: Wipe down the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. Stubborn dirt may require a mild soap and water solution.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Suede Care: Use a suede brush to maintain the texture and appearance of suede panels. Treat with a suede protector spray for added resistance against water and stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
