FAQs
Are the New Balance 1906R suitable for running?
While the 1906R features running-inspired technology like ABZORB and N-ergy for comfort and cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. It is not recommended for intense or professional athletic running.
How do I clean the 'Sea Salt True Red' colorway?
For the 'Sea Salt True Red' colorway, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to clean the leather and mesh upper. Wipe the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the main difference between the 1906R and other New Balance models?
The 1906R stands out with its unique blend of 21st-century running tech and a retro design inspired by early 2000s aesthetics. It offers advanced cushioning systems like ABZORB and N-ergy, distinct from many other lifestyle models.
Is the 'Sea Salt True Red' colorway available in other sizes?
Yes, the New Balance 1906R series, including variations of the 'Sea Salt True Red' colorway, is available in various adult sizes. Please check specific product listings for size availability.
How does the ABZORB cushioning feel?
ABZORB cushioning provides excellent shock absorption and a responsive feel, minimizing impact during wear and offering comfort throughout the day.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the gum-rubber outsole offers good traction, the mesh and leather upper are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
Over time, cushioning can naturally decrease. Ensure the shoe is clean, especially the midsole, as dirt can affect performance. For significant degradation, consider replacement.
Slipping or loss of traction
Check the gum-rubber outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and a brush. If wear is significant, the outsole may need replacement by a professional.
Discomfort or fit issues
Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoes feel tight, try wearing thinner socks. If discomfort persists, consider that the fit may not be ideal for your foot shape.
Color transfer from red accents
In damp conditions, some color transfer from the red accents to lighter socks or surfaces might occur initially. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the leather and mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
