FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, the New Balance 1906 is designed as a performance runner, offering excellent cushioning and support which makes it suitable for light running and active play for children.
How do I clean the mesh upper and synthetic overlays?
Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers. Allow them to air dry completely.
What does ABZORB cushioning do?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that provides superior shock absorption and cushioning, distributing impact forces evenly for enhanced comfort and protection.
Can my child wear these for sports?
These shoes are great for general athletic activities, school sports, and gym class. However, for highly specialized or intense sports, shoes designed specifically for those activities might offer more targeted support.
Is the sizing accurate for children?
New Balance typically maintains consistent sizing. It's recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the New Balance kids' sizing chart to ensure the best fit, especially as feet grow quickly.
Are these shoes heavy?
No, the New Balance 1906 features a lightweight synthetic construction, designed to be agile and comfortable for active children without adding unnecessary weight.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. New Balance children's shoes typically run true to size, but consider consulting a sizing guide or trying them on with appropriate socks. Adjust lacing for a more secure or relaxed fit.
Shoes get dirty quickly or have tough stains.
Regularly spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, use a soft brush. Avoid letting dirt set in for too long, and never machine wash.
A squeaking sound comes from the shoe when walking.
Often, this is caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and placing a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda underneath the insole before reinserting it. Also, check for any trapped debris.

Care Instructions
Given the polyester material and advanced cushioning, proper care will extend the life of your New Balance 1906 shoes:
- Spot Cleaning: For dirt and scuffs, gently wipe the mesh upper and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used with mild soap and water. Avoid submerging the entire shoe in water.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry these shoes, as it can compromise the cushioning, adhesives, and overall structure.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and allow them to air out. You can also sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
