FAQs
What makes the sole technology special?
The sole features a combination of ACTEVA LITE for lightweight cushioning, N-ergy for shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods in the heel for enhanced stability and comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The U1906A trainers are designed for lifestyle wear and light athletic activities. They are not optimized for high-impact, long-distance running and may not provide the specialized support required for marathon training.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing guide. Given the heritage fit, some users find it beneficial to try a half-size up or down from their usual size for optimal comfort.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from open-holed mesh, designed for breathability, with curvilinear synthetic overlays for support and style.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the U1906A is designed as a unisex trainer, suitable for adults regardless of gender.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit upon first wear
The ACTEVA LITE and mesh materials are designed to adapt. Wear them for short periods initially, or consider using thicker socks for a slightly looser feel during the break-in period. If persistently uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a half-size up.
Uneven wear on the sole
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Uneven wear can sometimes indicate a fit issue or an altered gait. If the issue persists and is concerning, consult a footwear professional.
Mesh feels cold in low temperatures
For colder weather, consider wearing warmer socks. The open mesh prioritizes breathability, which can lead to a cooler feel in very low temperatures.
