FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
While the 1906A offers excellent cushioning and support, it's primarily designed as a versatile trainer. For dedicated marathon running, specific long-distance running shoes might offer more specialized features. However, they can perform well for shorter to medium-distance runs and training.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance or the retailer. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately. The UK 5 is specified, but other sizes are available across variant listings.
What is the primary difference between ACTEVA LITE and ABZORB technology?
ACTEVA LITE is a lightweight cushioning foam that provides responsiveness. ABZORB technology, particularly the ABZORB SBS pods in the heel, focuses on shock absorption and segmented flexibility for comfort on varied terrain.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
The mesh upper provides breathability but is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet environments. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.
What is the intended use for the curvilinear support struts?
These struts are integrated into the shoe's structure to enhance lateral stability and provide targeted foot support, particularly during movements that require side-to-side motion.
How durable is the traction on these trainers?
The outsole is engineered for reliable traction on a variety of surfaces. Durability will depend on the frequency and type of use, as well as the surfaces encountered.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between sole layers. Ensure shoes are completely dry and allow them to air out. If the noise persists, it might indicate a structural issue.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
Cushioning materials naturally compress with use. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after significant mileage or wear, typically between 300-500 miles for running shoes.
Discomfort in the heel area
Ensure the laces are tied correctly for adequate heel lock. The ABZORB SBS pods are designed to flex; allow a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consult the sizing guide or consider an insole for personalized support.
