Please check the product label or official New Balance website for exact material composition.

How do I clean my New Balance 1906R trainers?

For best results, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth for stains, avoiding harsh chemicals. Air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash, as this can damage the shoe's structure.

What does the 'R' in 1906R stand for?

The 'R' in 1906R typically signifies 'Reissue' or 'Retro,' indicating that the shoe is a modern reinterpretation or homage to original New Balance designs from the early 2000s, specifically related to the 1906 model.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels uncomfortable or too tight.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern – loosening the laces, especially around the forefoot, can improve comfort. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a footwear specialist.

Trainers are getting dirty easily.

Regularly brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, clean promptly using a mild soap solution and a damp cloth as per the care instructions. Consider applying a shoe protector spray.

Unpleasant odor developing inside the trainers.

Allow trainers to air out completely after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally to air them separately. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Check if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe – try removing, cleaning, and reinserting it. If the squeak persists, it might be due to moisture; ensure trainers are completely dry inside. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 1906R trainers. Since specific material composition for this variant is not provided, general trainer care applies:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for multi-material trainers to repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: For surface dirt, gently wipe with a soft brush or damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap mixed with water.
  3. Spot Cleaning: Apply cleaning solution to a cloth, not directly to the shoe. Gently rub the affected area.
  4. Laces and Insoles: Remove laces and insoles to wash them separately if needed. Laces can be hand-washed; insoles can be wiped down.
  5. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
  6. Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with crumpled paper can help maintain their shape.
  7. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your trainers as this can damage their structure and materials.
