FAQs
What activities are these New Balance 1906 Trainers best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for a wide range of everyday activities for children, including walking, light running, school, playground activities, and general casual wear, thanks to their comfort and support features.
How do I clean the white New Balance 1906 Trainers?
For routine cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently wipe the mesh and synthetic areas. A soft brush can help with the outsole. For tougher marks, consider a specialized athletic shoe cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these trainers true to size?
New Balance typically runs true to size. However, foot shapes vary, so it's always recommended to measure your child's foot and refer to New Balance's sizing chart, or try them on to ensure the best fit.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that provides optimal shock absorption and cushioning, distributing impact forces to reduce stress on the feet and joints, offering a comfortable and responsive feel.
What is Stability Web technology?
Stability Web is a lightweight arch support feature that is integrated into the outsole. It helps to stabilize the midfoot, providing crucial arch support and preventing excessive pronation, which contributes to overall foot health and comfort.
Are these trainers primarily for running or casual wear?
While they are a modern remake of a 2000s performance runner and incorporate advanced cushioning, the New Balance 1906 Trainers are versatile. They are well-suited for both everyday casual wear and light athletic activities due to their blend of comfort, support, and style.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and discoloration. Avoiding cramped spaces will also help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel uncomfortable or rub.
Check the lacing to ensure it's not too tight or too loose. Verify the size by trying them on with appropriate socks; there should be a small gap (thumb's width) at the toe and no significant heel slip. Break them in gradually with short periods of wear.
White trainers get dirty easily and stains are visible.
Regularly wipe down the trainers with a damp cloth after wear. For stubborn stains, use a mild shoe cleaner and a soft brush, following the product instructions. Avoid letting dirt set for too long.
Soles seem to lose grip or cushioning over time.
The Nergy outsole is designed for durable traction, but wear and tear are natural. Ensure the soles are clean of debris, which can affect grip. If cushioning significantly degrades, it may indicate that the shoes are nearing the end of their functional life for performance, and replacement should be considered.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your New Balance 1906 Trainers is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are tied securely but not too tightly. A snug fit prevents the foot from sliding within the shoe, which can cause discomfort or blisters.
- Fit Check: Have your child walk around in the trainers. There should be a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping excessively.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for kids and are unisex, making them suitable for any child. They are ideal for a range of everyday activities, including walking, light running, school, and general play.
Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 1906 Trainers, especially the white color:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, gently wipe the mesh upper and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a soft brush for the outsole.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains on the white material, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for athletic footwear can be used. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation and discoloration.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the cushioning and structural integrity of the trainers.
