Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 1906R is designed for adults seeking a versatile, retro-inspired trainer that excels in both daily casual wear and light performance activities. By blending a breathable mesh upper with advanced midsole cushioning technologies, it provides exceptional comfort and shock absorption for all-day use. However, prospective buyers should note that the shoe's technical design, including the specific TPU heel structure, may feel more rigid compared to purely minimalist lifestyle footwear.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the 1906R features performance technology like N-ergy and ABZORB, it is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer for everyday use rather than a dedicated long-distance performance running shoe.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft-bristled brush and a solution of mild soap and water. Scrub gently and wipe away residue with a damp cloth, allowing the shoes to air dry.

Does the 1906R come in wide or narrow widths?

The standard 1906R build is unisex. If you find the fit tight, consider going up a half size, though availability depends on specific stock levels.

What is the primary material used?

The trainer features a combination of leather overlays for structure and an open-holed mesh upper for breathability.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if you require additional or different arch support.

Is the heel height noticeable?

The heel is cushioned with ABZORB SBS, providing a slight elevation that helps with shock absorption, but it remains stable and functional for daily wear.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather overlays

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creasing.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure you are using a double-knot or a secure runner's loop if the standard factory lacing feels loose.

Accumulated dirt in mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush to gently dislodge dry dirt particles from the open-holed mesh.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of shock absorption for all-day comfort
  • Breathable design suitable for warm weather
  • Stable arch support provided by Stability Web technology
  • Durable construction featuring high-quality leather overlays

  • Retro design aesthetic may not appeal to those seeking sleek, minimalist profiles
  • Limited to specific sizing availability based on inventory

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 1906R trainers maintain their performance and aesthetic, proper care is essential. Since the upper consists of leather overlays and mesh, avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather components. Instead, clean the mesh sections with a soft brush and mild detergent, wiping the leather parts with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure you allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the glue and materials from warping. For sizing, the 1906R generally follows standard unisex sizing, but always verify your specific UK size before purchase as fit can vary based on individual foot width.
