FAQs
Are the New Balance 1906R suitable for running?
The 1906R is designed for general daily wear, walking, and light jogging. While it features excellent cushioning, it is not specifically engineered for high-performance or long-distance running, which may require more specialized footwear.
How do I determine my correct size?
The New Balance 1906R is listed in UK adult sizing. We recommend referring to the official New Balance sizing chart, and if possible, trying on shoes later in the day when your feet are at their largest. The listed size for this product is `5.5 UK`.
Can I machine wash my 1906R shoes?
No, it is strongly advised not to machine wash your 1906R sneakers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the recommended spot cleaning and air-drying instructions in the 'Care' section.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and breathability, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks. This will help manage sweat and prevent discomfort, especially given the shoe's `open-holed mesh` design.
Is the 1906R available in other colors or materials?
The 1906R series often comes in various colorways and can sometimes feature different upper materials across variants. This specific product is in `Brown` with a `Nylon` upper. Other variants may include materials like Suede, Leather, or Polyester. Check product listings for alternative options.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The 1906R is not designed as a waterproof shoe. The `open-holed mesh` upper provides breathability but will not prevent water penetration. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions if you wish to keep your feet dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened across the instep. Consider trying different lacing patterns for a more customized fit. If persistent, verify your size with a New Balance sizing guide.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur from friction between the insole and the shoe's footbed. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch to the footbed, and then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole rubbing against certain surfaces.
Foot fatigue despite cushioning.
While the 1906R offers excellent cushioning, prolonged standing or walking on hard surfaces can still lead to fatigue. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consult with a podiatrist regarding your foot health and potential need for custom orthotics.
Nylon mesh appears dirty or discolored.
Follow the care instructions above for spot cleaning or deep cleaning the nylon upper. Use mild soap and a soft brush, and allow to air dry. For stubborn stains, specialized shoe cleaners designed for synthetic materials may be used with caution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Simply unlace the shoes, slide your feet in, and adjust the lacing to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure your heel is seated firmly in the heel cup. You may need to wear them for a short period to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot's unique shape.
Compatibility
The 1906R is a versatile shoe compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure wear. Its `Unisex` design means it pairs well with various outfits. It's best suited for:
- Everyday wear: Providing comfort and style for daily activities.
- Walking and light jogging: The cushioning system is designed for impact absorption during these activities.
- Casual gym use: Suitable for general fitness, but not recommended for specialized sports requiring specific performance footwear (e.g., heavy lifting, trail running, basketball).
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 1906R, especially with its `Nylon` upper:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or stains, gently wipe the affected area with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Deep Cleaning (Nylon): For a more thorough clean, mix a small amount of mild detergent with cold water. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently scrub the nylon mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid saturating the shoe.
- Rinsing: Wipe clean with a cloth dampened with plain cold water to remove soap residue.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Note: Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the shoe's structure and materials.
