FAQs

Are these New Balance 1906A sneakers suitable for running?

The New Balance 1906A Great Plains are designed primarily for everyday comfort and casual styling. While they offer superior cushioning and support for walking and daily activities, they are not specifically engineered as specialized running shoes.

How do I ensure I get the correct UK size 13?

New Balance shoes typically run true to size, but it's always recommended to consult the official New Balance size chart. If possible, try on the shoes or measure your foot length against a size guide to confirm the UK size 13 is the right fit for you.

Can I machine wash my New Balance 1906A shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended for these sneakers. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. It's best to follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the 'Product Care & Maintenance' section.

What does 'Great Plains' refer to in the product name?

'Great Plains' is a specific naming convention used by New Balance to describe the particular shade of grey for this colourway. It often alludes to natural landscapes, adding a distinctive identity to the colour.

Are these shoes durable enough for daily use?

Yes, the New Balance 1906A is crafted with durable construction and attention to detail, making them well-suited for regular everyday wear. With proper care, they are designed to maintain their quality and appearance over time.

Will the grey colour fade over time?

Like most footwear, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and general wear can lead to subtle changes in colour over time. Following the recommended care instructions, particularly regarding storage away from direct sunlight, can help preserve the colour's vibrancy.

Troubleshooting

My shoes make a squeaking sound when I walk.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and then applying a light dusting of baby powder or cornstarch to the underside of the insole before reinserting it. Ensure the insole is properly seated.

The shoes feel a bit too snug or too loose.

First, adjust your lacing. Looser lacing can provide more room, while tighter lacing can secure your foot better. Also, consider the type of socks you're wearing; thinner or thicker socks can significantly impact fit. If the issue persists, ensure you have the correct size, as the UK size 13 should generally fit true to size.

There's an unpleasant odor developing in my sneakers.

Allow your shoes to air out thoroughly after each wear, ideally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. You can use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe inserts, or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (then vacuumed out) to absorb moisture and odors. Regularly change and wash your socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started

Your New Balance 1906A sneakers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply unlace them to your desired comfort, slide your foot in, and lace them up securely. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the fit that feels best for you. For optimal comfort, ensure your socks are not bunched up.

  • Smart Casual: Can be dressed up with tailored trousers or dark wash jeans and a button-down shirt or polo for a relaxed yet refined look.
  • Seasonal: Suitable for all seasons, though in wet or snowy conditions, consider footwear with enhanced water resistance.

Product Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 1906A sneakers.

  1. Regular Cleaning: For daily dirt, use a soft brush or dry cloth to gently wipe away dust and loose debris.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution (e.g., diluted dish soap) and a soft cloth or sponge. Gently dab the stained area, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  4. Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately with mild soap and water.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash your sneakers, as this can degrade materials, adhesives, and compromise the shoe's structure.
  7. Deep Cleaning (as needed): For deeper cleaning, consider specialized sneaker cleaning products or services, especially for any specific material components that may be present (e.g., suede, synthetic overlays).
