Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 1906A trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of modern performance cushioning and heritage-inspired design. Their key benefit lies in the advanced sole unit offering excellent shock absorption and flexible support, perfect for everyday wear and light training.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the 1906A's sole unit?

The sole unit combines ACTEVA LITE for flexibility, N-ergy for shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods for heel impact protection, offering a blend of comfort and support.

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

The 1906A is designed for everyday wear and light training. While comfortable, they may not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for high-mileage, long-distance running.

How should I clean my New Balance 1906A trainers?

Clean the upper with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals. Air dry naturally away from heat. Do not machine wash.

Is the mesh upper waterproof?

No, the open-holed mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions or light moisture.

What does '1906A' signify compared to '1906'?

'1906A' typically refers to a specific iteration or update of the 1906 model, often indicating minor design or material refinements while maintaining the core features of the original series.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

They can handle light, occasional splashes, but the mesh upper is not designed for prolonged exposure to rain or wet surfaces. Water may penetrate easily.

What materials are used in the 1906A trainers?

The upper primarily features Nylon and open-holed mesh, with synthetic overlays. The sole unit utilizes ACTEVA LITE, N-ergy, and ABZORB SBS technologies.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Adjust lacing to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up or down, as shoe fit can vary.

Squeaking sound during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole or the shoe rubbing against the foot. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help. If the squeak persists and is bothersome, contact customer support.

Reduced cushioning over time

The cushioning materials may compress slightly with extensive use. Rotate your footwear if possible, allowing the cushioning to recover. If significant degradation occurs within the warranty period, consult the warranty policy.

Mesh upper feels cold in winter

For colder conditions, consider wearing thicker, insulated socks. For extended use in very cold or wet weather, a more weather-resistant shoe might be a better choice.
