FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 1906R features performance-grade cushioning, it is categorized primarily as a lifestyle trainer designed for daily walking and casual wear.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
The 1906R typically runs true to size. Ensure there is approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the insole is removable, which allows for the use of custom orthotics if required.
Is the mesh durable?
The open-holed mesh is high-quality, but it should be kept away from sharp objects that might snag the fabric.
How often should I clean the outsole?
Wiping the outsole with a damp cloth every few wears helps maintain traction and prevents dirt buildup in the tread pattern.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation in mesh pores
Use a soft dry brush to gently sweep out debris before wiping with a slightly damp cloth.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure they are double-knotted or replace with performance laces if additional friction is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready for use immediately out of the box. To ensure a long lifespan, it is recommended to keep the shoes away from extreme moisture. When cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the mesh panels and wipe the synthetic overlays with a damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the integrity of the adhesive and the N-ergy cushioning components. Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
