FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 1890 is inspired by performance running silhouettes, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for daily use rather than high-intensity athletic running.
How should I clean the mesh portions?
Use a soft brush to gently remove dirt from the mesh, or use a mixture of water and a mild detergent to spot-clean, avoiding excessive water saturation.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 1890 generally follows standard adult sizing, but it is always recommended to refer to your specific UK size for the best fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather is durable, but it is not marketed as waterproof; it is advisable to use a leather protector spray if you plan on wearing them in damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the leather's natural shape.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Wipe the rubber outsole with a dry cloth to remove debris or slick residue that may have accumulated.
Internal lining odor
Remove the insoles to air out the shoe and use a shoe-specific deodorizer spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1890 trainers maintain their shape and support, keep them dry and away from direct heat sources. Since these feature leather and mesh components, avoid soaking them during cleaning. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust, and clean leather sections with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. For compatibility, these trainers are unisex and fit standard adult sizing. It is recommended to use the provided lace eyelets to ensure a secure lockdown that complements the shoe's internal support structure.
