FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
While the New Balance 1906R is inspired by 2000s runners and features performance cushioning (ABZORB), it is primarily optimized for everyday comfort and lifestyle wear. For intense or long-distance running, New Balance offers other specialized running models designed for those specific demands.
How do I clean my New Balance 1906R shoes?
For the synthetic upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a soft brush for the midsole and outsole. Always allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam that provides superior cushioning and compression resistance, aiding in absorbing impact during movement. In the 1906R, it contributes significantly to the shoe's comfortable feel.
Does the 1906R offer good arch support?
Yes, the New Balance 1906R features Stability Web outsole technology, which is specifically designed to provide essential arch support, enhancing comfort and stability for all-day wear.
Can I wear these shoes in different weather conditions?
The synthetic upper offers some resistance to light moisture. However, these shoes are not waterproof. For heavy rain or snow, consider footwear designed for those conditions. Regular cleaning after exposure to dirt or water is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace closure tension. If new, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in slightly. Ensure you've selected the correct UK shoe size for your foot.
Foot discomfort after long wear
While the ABZORB provides cushioning, ensure your socks are appropriate. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's primary lifestyle design aligns with your activity level. For intensive activities, a more specialized shoe might be needed.
Shoes getting dirty quickly
Regularly clean the synthetic upper and outsole as per the care instructions. Consider applying a shoe protector spray suitable for synthetic materials to help repel dirt and water.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and placing a small amount of baby powder underneath the insole to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Begin by loosening the lace closure completely. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe.
- Adjusting Fit: Start tightening the laces from the bottom (closest to the toes) working your way up. Pull laces snugly but not so tight as to cause pressure points. Aim for a secure fit that allows your toes to wiggle slightly.

Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 1906R shoes:
- Cleaning the Synthetic Upper: Gently wipe away dirt and grime using a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Midsole & Outsole: Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) to clean the ABZORB midsole and Stability Web outsole. Warm water can help dislodge stubborn dirt.
- Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation.
