FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
We recommend hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Machine washing may damage the structural integrity and adhesive.
Do these run true to size?
The New Balance 1906 generally fits consistent with standard athletic sizing, but it is recommended to measure your child's foot to align with the UK size guide.
Can these be used for gym class?
Yes, they provide excellent support for standard gym class activities and casual sports.
What is the primary material?
The trainers feature a mix of synthetic and mesh materials for breathability and durability.
Is the sole non-marking?
While intended for everyday wear, the rubber outsoles are generally safe for indoor school gym floors.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot the laces or replace them with higher-friction athletic laces.
Insole feels loose
Remove the insole, clean the debris from the footbed, and ensure it is pressed firmly back into the heel cup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 1906 trainers, wipe them down with a damp cloth after exposure to mud or dirt. The black synthetic and mesh materials are relatively low-maintenance, but avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the internal adhesives. For optimal fit, ensure the child is wearing appropriate cotton or athletic socks. Since these are performance-style sneakers, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the sole cushioning from compressing prematurely.
