FAQs

Are the New Balance 1906A suitable for running marathons?

The 1906A features advanced cushioning for comfort and shock absorption, making them great for daily wear and light activity. However, they are designed as lifestyle trainers and may not provide the specific support and responsiveness required for competitive marathon running.

How do I know if I have the right UK size?

Refer to New Balance's official sizing chart online, which typically correlates UK sizes with foot length in centimeters or inches. Trying them on in person is always the most reliable method if possible.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the materials offer some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and to ensure they are properly dried afterwards.

What is the main difference between the 1906A and other New Balance series like the 2002R?

The 1906A shares a similar sole unit technology with models like the 2002R and 860v2, offering comparable cushioning and support. However, the 1906A features a distinct upper design and a specific color palette that differentiates its aesthetic.

How often should I clean my 1906A trainers?

The frequency of cleaning depends on usage and environmental conditions. It's advisable to brush off surface dirt after each wear. Deeper cleaning should be done as needed when visible stains appear or the shoes become dirty.

Do these trainers come in other colors besides brown and grey?

The product information specifies a brown and grey color scheme for this particular model (1906A). New Balance often releases different colorways across various models and series, so other color options may exist for different versions or future releases.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing pattern. Try different lacing techniques to achieve a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Slight squeaking sound during wear

This can sometimes occur due to new materials or slight friction. Try wearing them for a few more sessions; the sound often diminishes. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.

Discoloration on the upper material

Consult the specific care instructions for the material (mesh, suede, leather). For suede or leather, use a specialized cleaner and protector. For mesh, spot clean gently with a damp cloth.
