FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the New Balance 1906R offers excellent cushioning and support suitable for active walking and light jogs, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe. For serious or competitive running, specialized running shoes might offer more targeted features.

What do ABZORB and N-ergy technologies do?

ABZORB is a superior foam cushioning that resists compression, absorbing impact to reduce stress on your joints. N-ergy is a lightweight, responsive cushioning system, typically found in the heel, that provides additional shock absorption and returns energy, enhancing comfort and responsiveness.

Is the sizing true to standard UK sizes?

Yes, the New Balance 1906R generally fits true to standard UK sizing. However, foot shapes can vary, so if you are between sizes, it's often recommended to consult a size chart or try on if possible.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technologies. Always follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the care section.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The primary material for the upper is resilient mesh, providing breathability and flexibility. This is complemented by synthetic overlays, and depending on the specific variant, may also include leather or suede elements.

Are the laces replaceable?

Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced if they become worn or if you wish to change their appearance. Ensure any replacement laces are of similar length and thickness to maintain the intended fit and look.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Check your lacing. The N-lock system allows for precise adjustments. Ensure you have the correct size; New Balance shoes generally run true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Consider trying a half-size up or down if issues persist.

Foot discomfort or rubbing.

Ensure your socks are appropriate for athletic footwear, seamless, and well-fitting. Break in your new shoes gradually. If discomfort persists, inspect the inside of the shoe for any irregularities or consider different insoles.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, cleaning both the insoles and the shoe's footbed, and reinserting them. A small amount of powder (like baby powder) under the insole can also help.

Dirty or stained overlays.

For synthetic overlays, use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe clean. For suede or leather sections, use appropriate material-specific cleaning products and brushes to avoid damage. Always clean stains promptly.

Care Instructions

To maintain the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 1906R shoes:

  1. General Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and dust from the upper and sole.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, lightly dampen a clean cloth with mild soap and water. Gently rub the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  3. Material Specifics:
  • Textile & Synthetic Uppers: Can be cleaned with the mild soap and water method. Air dry away from direct heat.
  • Suede/Leather Overlays: If your specific variant includes suede or leather, use a specialized suede brush for suede and a damp cloth (with a leather cleaner if necessary) for leather. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  1. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
  2. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
