FAQs
Is the New Balance 1906R suitable for wide feet?
The 1906R generally fits true to size, but the structured TPU cage provides a snug, secure fit that may feel tight for users with very wide feet.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the metallic leather overlays. We recommend hand cleaning only.
What is the primary function of the TPU cage?
The TPU cage serves as a structural reinforcement to provide lateral support and stability for the midfoot.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
Yes, the 1906R series is known for its balanced arch support, suitable for neutral-gaited individuals.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose while walking
Ensure the N-Lock system is engaged by pulling the laces taut through the side TPU cage eyelets.
Upper mesh shows minor creasing
This is a natural characteristic of flexible mesh material; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape.
Metallic accents look dull
Gently wipe the metallic areas with a slightly damp microfiber cloth to restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 1906R, follow these care guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short periods indoors for the first few days to allow the leather overlays to soften.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh upper. For the leather sections, wipe with a damp, soft cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the metallic finish.
- Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the adhesive or materials from warping.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or a microfiber towel to maintain their shape while they air dry at room temperature.
