FAQs
Is the 1906R a dedicated running shoe?
While it features performance running technology, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer suitable for daily wear and light athletic activity.
How does the sizing compare to other New Balance models?
The 1906R generally follows standard New Balance sizing. If you have worn the 2002R previously, you should find a similar fit.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No. Machine washing can damage the adhesive components and the specific leather/mesh finish. Always clean by hand.
What is the primary material in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable, large-holed mesh and durable leather overlays.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white mesh
Use a specialized sneaker foam cleaner and a soft brush; dab gently rather than scrubbing hard to avoid fraying the mesh fibers.
Loss of cushion response over time
Rotate your footwear to allow the foam midsoles to decompress for at least 24 hours between heavy usage days.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- Metallic leather requires specific cleaning methods
- White mesh areas are prone to showing dirt
- Design aesthetic is very distinct and may not suit all styles
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are pre-assembled with a performance-focused fit, no break-in period is typically required. To ensure your 1906R trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh panels.
- Leather Care: Wipe metallic leather overlays with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that might strip the silver finish.
- Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can deform the foam cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the white mesh from yellowing over time.
