FAQs
Is the New Balance 1906R suitable for running?
While inspired by performance running shoes, the 1906R is categorized primarily as a lifestyle trainer suitable for daily wear and light activity.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dust and a lightly dampened cloth for stains; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Does this model fit true to size?
New Balance 1906R models generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to check the specific UK 6.5 sizing against your current comfortable footwear.
What is the primary function of the TPU cage?
The TPU cage is designed to add structural support and stability to the heel and midfoot area.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Laces feeling too loose during movement
Re-thread the laces to ensure they pass correctly through the N-Lock system to secure the midfoot.
Creasing on leather overlays
Use wooden shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your 1906R trainers, avoid machine washing, which can damage the leather and TPU components. Use a soft-bristle brush to gently remove dried dirt from the mesh areas. For the leather overlays, a damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. For optimal fit, ensure the N-Lock lacing is snug but not restrictive to maintain proper circulation while utilizing the built-in stability features.
