FAQs

What activities are these trainers best suited for?

The New Balance 1906R Trainers are best suited for everyday wear, casual outings, urban exploration, and light activities like walking or errands. Their focus is on comfort and style for daily use.

Are these trainers waterproof?

Info needed: Specific waterproofing details are not provided. Generally, trainers with mesh uppers are not fully waterproof, but they may offer some water resistance. For wet conditions, consider applying a protective spray.

How do I choose the correct size?

These trainers are listed as UK size 7 for adult males. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. If purchasing online, consult a New Balance size guide and measure your foot length.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper features durable mesh and man-made (synthetic) materials, offering a blend of breathability, support, and durability for long-lasting wear.

Can I machine wash my 1906R trainers?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section.

What is the N-ergy sole?

The N-ergy sole is a New Balance cushioning technology designed to provide superior shock absorption and energy return. It contributes significantly to the all-day comfort and support of the 1906R trainers.

Do these trainers have good arch support?

The New Balance 1906R features a supportive design with its N-ergy sole, which contributes to overall foot stability and comfort. Individual arch support needs may vary, but the shoe is engineered for general comfort and support.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. New trainers may require a brief break-in period. If discomfort persists, check sock thickness or consider a different lacing pattern to alleviate pressure points.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little baby powder underneath, and then reinserting it. If the squeak is external, check for trapped debris in the sole.

Odor build-up inside the trainers.

Allow trainers to air out after each use. Remove insoles occasionally to let them dry. Use odor-absorbing inserts, foot powder, or a shoe deodorizer spray. Wearing moisture-wicking socks can also help prevent odor.

Stains on the mesh or synthetic upper.

Address stains immediately. Use a mild soap diluted in water with a soft cloth or brush to gently clean the spot. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material. For tough stains, a specialized shoe cleaner may be needed.

Sole feels less cushioned over time.

The N-ergy sole is designed for durability, but cushioning can eventually compress with extensive wear. Ensure regular cleaning to prevent dirt accumulation from hardening the sole. If cushioning significantly degrades, it may indicate the trainers are reaching the end of their functional lifespan.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your 1906R trainers:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For surface dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently rub the affected area.
  2. Deep Cleaning (Uppers): Mix a small amount of mild detergent with water. Using a soft cloth or brush, lightly scrub the mesh and synthetic areas. Rinse the cloth and wipe away soap residue.
  3. Sole Cleaning: A stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap can effectively clean the chunky N-ergy sole.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, as these can damage materials.
  5. Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. Using shoe deodorizers or baking soda can help absorb moisture and odors.
  6. Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.

Do Not Machine Wash: Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the trainers.
