FAQs
How should I clean my New Balance 1906R suede trainers?
Use a specialized `suede brush` for everyday dirt and a `suede eraser` for minor scuffs. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated suede cleaning kit and follow its instructions. Always avoid water and harsh chemicals if possible.
Are these trainers suitable for sports or running?
The New Balance 1906R trainers are designed primarily for casual, everyday wear and comfort, not for high-impact sports or running. While they offer durability and a non-slip sole, dedicated running or athletic shoes would be more appropriate for those activities.
What is the best way to protect the suede from water and stains?
Apply a high-quality `suede protector spray` before your first wear and reapply periodically as directed by the product. This creates a protective barrier against moisture and stains.
Do these shoes run true to size (UK 6.5)?
Generally, New Balance trainers are considered to run true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on with your typical socks to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear my New Balance 1906R in wet weather?
Suede is generally not ideal for wet weather. While a `suede protector spray` can offer some resistance, heavy rain or puddles can damage the material. It's best to wear them in dry conditions.
How can I prevent the trainers from developing an odour?
Allow your trainers to air out after each wear, ideally removing the insoles. You can also use shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and control odour.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized `suede brush` to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For tougher dirt, use a `suede eraser`.
Trainers got wet and look discoloured
Stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Once dry, brush gently with a `suede brush`.
Minor scuffs or shiny spots on suede
Gently rub the affected area with a `suede eraser` or the rubber side of a `suede brush` to lift the nap and even out the texture.
Unpleasant odour from inside the trainers
Remove the insoles (if removable) and allow both the insoles and trainers to air out in a well-ventilated area. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (vacuum out in the morning).
Fit feels too tight or loose
Ensure you are wearing the appropriate socks. Adjust the lacing to be snug but not overly tight. If the size is consistently uncomfortable, consider an alternative size or different lacing techniques.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your New Balance 1906R trainers is straightforward, but maintaining their quality, especially the suede material, requires specific attention.
Initial Setup
- Try On: Upon receiving your trainers, try them on with the socks you typically wear to ensure the UK 6.5 size offers a comfortable and secure fit. Walk around a bit to check for any pressure points or discomfort.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to your preferred tension. A snug fit that doesn't restrict circulation is ideal for comfort and stability.
Compatibility
These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual clothing items:
- Apparel: Jeans (all washes), chinos, casual trousers, shorts, joggers, and even some lightweight wool or cotton trousers.
- Occasions: Everyday wear, urban exploration, casual meet-ups, travel, and any situation where comfort and style are key.
- Weather: Best suited for dry conditions. While the non-slip sole offers some traction, suede is not ideal for heavy rain or snow unless properly protected.
Product Care & Maintenance
Proper care is crucial for extending the life and maintaining the appearance of your suede New Balance 1906R trainers.
- Water & Stain Protection: Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality `suede protector spray`. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a `suede brush` to gently brush off dirt and dust after each wear. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For small stains, use a `suede eraser` or a damp, clean cloth (dampened with a specialized suede cleaner if necessary). Blot, don't rub, to lift the stain.
- Deep Cleaning (Rarely): If significant cleaning is needed, use a dedicated suede cleaning kit following the product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaps.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never put suede trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the material and construction.
