FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The New Balance 1906R typically follows standard sizing conventions. If you usually wear a specific size in New Balance lifestyle models, that size is the best starting point.

Can I use these for long-distance running?

While inspired by performance running shoes, the 1906R is categorized as a lifestyle trainer. It is better suited for walking and everyday activities rather than high-performance distance running.

How do I protect the leather parts?

Using a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather can help protect the material, but always test it on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Is the 1906R suitable for wide feet?

The silhouette is designed for a standard fit, but the materials provide a degree of flexibility that accommodates a variety of foot shapes comfortably.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the standard factory insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own personal orthotics if required.

How often should I clean the mesh?

Depending on usage and environment, a quick wipe-down every few wears will prevent dust from settling deep into the mesh fibers.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt trapped in the open-holed mesh

Use a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently agitate and sweep away dust from the mesh openings.

Creasing on the leather overlays

Creasing is a normal characteristic of leather; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape of the trainer.

Soles feeling less responsive over time

Check the outsole for debris or small stones lodged in the tread or around the ABZORB pods and remove them to restore traction and flexibility.

Pros and Cons

  • Versatile unisex aesthetic suitable for various styles
  • Advanced midsole technology balances flexibility and weight

Cons

  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain mesh appearance
  • The layered design can be more complex to clean than smooth-surface shoes
  • Not intended for high-intensity competitive athletics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 1906R trainers maintain their performance and look, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and leather surfaces. For deeper stains, use a mild, diluted detergent with a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine.
  2. Drying: Always air-dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as these can warp the leather and damage the adhesive of the cushioning pods.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey and brown tones from fading over time.
  4. Compatibility: These are standard adult trainers compatible with custom orthotics if you prefer to remove the original factory insole for specific foot support needs.
