FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The 1906R trainers are designed with ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning for comfort and support, making them suitable for casual running and everyday wear. For marathon running, specialized performance running shoes offering advanced support and stability might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the mesh and leather parts?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap for general cleaning. For leather accents, a dedicated leather cleaner or conditioner can be used sparingly. Always allow shoes to air dry completely.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB and N-ergy technology?
ABZORB provides superior shock absorption, while N-ergy enhances stability and energy return, together offering excellent cushioning and comfort for prolonged wear.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The mesh upper can allow water in. While they can handle light splashes, they are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments.
How do the 'Harbor Grey' and 'Silver' colors appear in person?
The 'Harbor Grey' refers to the dominant dark grey mesh and leather upper, while the 'Silver' denotes the metallic accents. The combination creates a sophisticated, retro-futuristic look.
Is this shoe model available in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the New Balance 1906R series is available in various colorways and sizes. Please refer to the product catalog for available options.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you are wearing the type of socks you typically would with trainers. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or consulting the New Balance size guide.
Laces becoming worn or dirty
Clean laces with mild soap and water, or replace them with a new pair of standard athletic laces of a similar length.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Ensure the midsole cushioning hasn't been compacted by excessive high-impact use. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
- Leather Care: For the leather overlays, use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
