Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the correct size has been purchased. Check the lacing; try loosening them slightly, especially over the instep. Consider trying different types of socks (thicker/thinner) to adjust fit.
Shoes appear dirty or stained quickly.
Follow the 'Care Instructions' provided above for spot cleaning and maintenance. Regular gentle cleaning of the nylon upper can prevent dirt buildup.
Squeaking sound while walking.
Sometimes a squeak can come from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole, which typically subsides with wear.
Foot odor develops.
Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally to air dry. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors. Consider using moisture-wicking socks.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 1906 trainers with a nylon upper.
- Spot Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, gently wipe the `nylon` upper and overlays with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with cool water and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap or laundry detergent).
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, create a paste with baking soda and a small amount of water. Apply to the stain, let sit for 15-20 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and wipe clean.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as this can damage the materials.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and air them out. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb smells.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your trainers, as this can damage the materials and structural integrity.
