FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 1906L Raincloud is designed as a comfortable casual and loafer-style shoe, not for athletic running. It features cushioning for daily wear but lacks the specific support and structure required for running.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution, then rinse lightly and air dry.
What is Nergy technology?
Nergy is New Balance's cushioning technology designed to provide excellent shock absorption and responsive comfort with each step.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the breathable mesh upper and comfortable interior make them suitable for wear without socks.
What is the main difference between this and a traditional loafer?
The 1906L Raincloud incorporates athletic shoe technology, like the Nergy midsole and breathable mesh, with a strap closure instead of a traditional slip-on opening or laces, creating a hybrid design.
How does the strap closure work?
The leather strap goes across the top of the foot, securing the shoe without laces. It offers a slip-on style with added structure.
What is the material of the overlays?
The overlays are made of leather, providing structure and durability to the shoe's upper.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Due to the strap closure, adjust the position of your foot within the shoe. If a persistent fit issue occurs, consider trying a different size. Due to the laceless design, fine-tuning the fit is limited.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure you have the correct size and that the foot is positioned properly within the shoe. For initial wear, break-in periods may be needed. If discomfort persists, consult the shoe's sizing chart for potential fit issues.
Scuff marks on leather overlays
Use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner to gently remove scuff marks. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
