FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The New Balance 1906 trainers are generally designed for a standard fit. While they offer some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may find a better fit with specific wide-width models if available.

How do the ABZORB and N-Ergy technologies differ?

The ABZORB system is focused on absorbing impact, providing cushioning and comfort. N-Ergy technology is designed to return energy with each step, offering a more responsive feel and aiding in propulsion.

Can I wear these trainers for long-distance running?

Yes, the combination of ABZORB cushioning and N-Ergy for energy return makes them suitable for long-distance running, providing comfort and support.

Are the materials waterproof?

The upper is made of synthetic material and is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. They are not suitable for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the New Balance sizing chart. Trying them on in-store if possible is the most reliable method.

What is the primary inspiration for the 1906 series?

The 1906 series is inspired by iconic New Balance running shoe designs from the 1970s, blending retro aesthetics with modern performance features.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Consider using thicker socks or allowing a break-in period for the shoes to conform to your feet.

Reduced cushioning effect

The cushioning technologies may take some time to adapt to your stride. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. If the issue persists after a break-in period, contact customer support.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try loosening or tightening the laces, or check for any debris trapped in the sole.
