FAQs
What makes the New Balance 1906L a 'hybrid' shoe?
The 1906L combines the athletic performance features of a New Balance trainer, such as the N-ergy outsole and ABZORB cushioning, with design elements of a classic penny loafer, like the suede upper and penny strap detail.
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense training?
While they offer good comfort and support for walking and daily activities, the 1906L is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe. For high-impact sports or specialized athletic training, dedicated performance footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Gently brush with a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid getting the suede wet and consider using a protector spray.
What is the purpose of the N-ergy outsole?
The N-ergy outsole is designed to provide enhanced cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to the overall comfort of the shoe during everyday wear.
Can these shoes be worn by both men and women?
Yes, the New Balance 1906L is designed with a unisex fit, making it suitable for adults of any gender.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of smooth black suede, accented with dynamic plastic overlays on the heel.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The shoes feature ABZORB SBS Heel Pods for cushioning and support, which can offer some level of arch comfort for general wear. However, they are not specifically designed as orthopedic arch support shoes.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Allow to dry completely and brush again.
Shoe feels less cushioned over time
The cushioning materials may have compressed with regular use. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. For significant loss of cushioning, replacement may be considered.
Discomfort in the heel area
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. The ABZORB SBS heel pods are designed for support, but break-in periods may vary. If discomfort persists, consider checking the fit or consulting with a footwear professional.
