FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The 1906R is designed as a unisex trainer. While it offers a structured fit, availability of wide-fit options may vary by region and specific release. Check the product details for available widths.

How do the 1906R compare to the 2002R models?

Both models share similar sole technologies like ACTEVA LITE and N-ergy. The 1906R often features a slightly more retro-futuristic upper design compared to the 2002R, offering a distinct aesthetic.

What is the primary use case for the 1906R trainers?

The 1906R is designed for an active lifestyle, providing comfort and support for running, walking, and general daily wear. Its advanced cushioning makes it suitable for prolonged activity.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede material. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

Performance or athletic socks are recommended to complement the shoe's cushioning and breathability features. Materials like moisture-wicking synthetics or merino wool are good choices.

What does 'ACTEVA LITE' cushioning mean?

ACTEVA LITE is a type of foam cushioning developed by New Balance that is both lightweight and provides good flexibility and durability, contributing to the overall comfort of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to air pockets in the sole. Try wearing them for a bit longer; the noise often resolves with use. If persistent, check for debris lodged in the sole's grooves.

Foot discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly to provide the right balance of snugness and comfort. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's support features align with your foot type. Break-in periods can also vary.

Suede appears dull or stained

Use a suede eraser to gently lift stains and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaning solution sparingly, following the product's instructions, and brush afterwards.
