FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The 1906W trainers are designed with cushioning and shock absorption suitable for light running, recovery runs, or everyday wear. For high-intensity or long-distance running, dedicated running shoes might be more appropriate.

How do I determine my correct size in unisex footwear?

It is recommended to measure your foot length in centimeters or inches and compare it with the New Balance unisex sizing chart provided. For the 1906W, the specific size is listed as UK adult foot size.

What is the primary difference between the 1906W and other New Balance models like the 2002R?

While sharing similar sole unit technologies, the 1906W features a distinct upper design with open-holed mesh and curvilinear overlays, offering a unique aesthetic and potentially different breathability compared to other models.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, structure, and cushioning of the trainers. Hand-cleaning with a mild soap and water is the preferred method.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.

Are the materials used durable for everyday wear?

Yes, the combination of leather and nylon in the upper is designed for durability and longevity in everyday use.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and ensure you have measured your foot accurately. Consider trying on different sizes if possible, as unisex sizing can vary.

Reduced cushioning over time

The cushioning materials will naturally compress with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing the insoles or the shoes after prolonged wear.

Discoloration of mesh or overlays

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with appropriate mild cleaning agents as per care instructions.

Squeaking noise during wear

This can sometimes be caused by moisture between layers or the insole. Ensure the shoes are dry and the insole is properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
