FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?

While the New Balance 1906 trainers offer excellent cushioning and support for everyday wear and light activities, they are primarily designed for casual use and style. For intense sports or specialized athletic performance, we recommend consulting a shoe designed specifically for that sport.

How do I ensure I'm buying the correct size for my child?

We recommend measuring your child's foot and comparing it to the New Balance size chart. It's best to measure both feet, as one can be slightly larger than the other, and always allow a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.

What does 'breathable upper' mean?

A 'breathable upper' means the material used on the top part of the trainer is designed to allow air circulation. This helps to keep your child's feet cooler and more comfortable, especially during active periods or in warmer weather.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is generally not recommended for trainers as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure. Spot cleaning with a mild cleaner and air-drying is the safest and most effective method for maintaining your New Balance 1906 trainers.

What are the metallic accents made of?

Info needed: The specific composition of the metallic accents is not provided in the product description. Generally, such accents are made of synthetic materials or treated fabrics designed for aesthetic appeal and durability. Avoid harsh chemicals when cleaning them.

Are these New Balance 1906 trainers good for arch support?

The New Balance 1906 series is known for its comfortable cushioning, which provides general support for everyday wear. For specific arch support needs, especially for children with particular foot conditions, consulting a podiatrist or footwear specialist is recommended.

How long do these trainers typically last?

The lifespan of trainers depends heavily on usage frequency, activity level, and care. With proper care and regular cleaning, New Balance trainers are built for durability. For active children, it's advisable to inspect shoes regularly for wear and tear and consider replacement when cushioning or support visibly degrades.

Troubleshooting

Trainers get dirty very quickly.

White trainers are prone to visible dirt. Establish a routine of wiping them down after each wear. For tougher stains, use a specialized shoe cleaner and a soft brush. Consider applying a protective spray before first use to repel stains.

Laces constantly come undone.

Ensure your child is tying a double knot. You can also try different lacing techniques that create more friction, or consider replacing the laces with ones that have a coarser texture for better grip.

Foot discomfort or rubbing.

Check if the trainers are the correct size and width. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (not too thin or thick). Sometimes new shoes require a short 'break-in' period. If discomfort persists, consult a shoe specialist.

Trainer material appears dull or losing 'shine'.

Regular cleaning removes dirt buildup that can dull the appearance. For metallic accents, use a very soft, barely damp cloth for cleaning to avoid scratching. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.

Trainers emit an odor.

Ensure trainers are fully air-dried after each use. Encourage your child to wear clean, breathable socks. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use to absorb odors. Allow feet to breathe outside of trainers when possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

  1. Unboxing: Remove trainers from packaging. Ensure all protective materials are discarded.
  2. First Fit: Have your child try on the trainers with their usual socks. Check for a comfortable fit; there should be about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
  3. Lacing: Teach or assist your child in properly lacing the trainers. Ensure laces are snug but not too tight, and tied securely to prevent tripping.

These New Balance 1906 trainers boast a versatile, unisex design that pairs well with a wide range of children's clothing. They complement:

  • Casual Wear: Jeans, shorts, leggings, skirts, and dresses.
  • Athletic Attire: Tracksuits, joggers, and athletic shorts.
  • School Uniforms: Depending on school dress code, they can offer a stylish and comfortable option.

Care

Maintaining the pristine white appearance of these trainers is key to preserving their 'stand-out vibe'. Regular cleaning is recommended.

  1. Daily Wipe-Down: After each wear, gently wipe down visible dirt or scuffs with a damp cloth.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For tougher marks, use a mild soap or shoe cleaner designed for white athletic footwear. Apply with a soft brush or cloth and gently scrub the affected area.
  3. Air Dry: Always allow trainers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  4. Protective Spray: Consider using a shoe protector spray suitable for trainer materials to repel water and stains.
  5. Lace Care: Laces can be hand-washed separately with mild detergent and air-dried.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and dirt.
