FAQs
Are the New Balance 1906R suitable for running?
While the 1906R offers excellent cushioning and support, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker rather than a dedicated high-performance running shoe. Its comfort features are best suited for everyday wear, walking, and light activities.
How do I determine my size for the 1906R?
The New Balance 1906R generally fits true to size. We recommend referring to New Balance's official sizing chart and, if possible, trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering UK shoe sizes.
What materials are used in the New Balance 1906R Blue Agate?
The 1906R Blue Agate features a combination of synthetic and mesh overlays for its upper, complemented by metallic accents and the signature ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning technologies in the sole. The exact composition of each element (e.g., specific synthetic type) is proprietary to New Balance.
Can I wear these sneakers in all weather conditions?
The New Balance 1906R is not specifically designed as a waterproof shoe. While it can handle light rain, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow is not recommended, as moisture can seep through the mesh and synthetic materials. Avoid wearing them in extreme wet conditions to maintain their integrity.
How often should I clean my 1906R sneakers?
Cleaning frequency depends on how often you wear them and the conditions you wear them in. For daily wear, a quick wipe-down after each use can prevent dirt buildup. A more thorough cleaning once every few weeks or as needed will help maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
Yes, the New Balance 1906R incorporates Stability Web outsole technology, which is specifically designed to provide enhanced arch support, contributing to overall comfort and stability during wear.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel uncomfortable or tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes might require a short break-in period. Adjust lacing to find a comfortable tension. Consider wearing thinner socks initially.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside with a little talcum powder, and replacing the insole. Also, check for any debris stuck in the outsole.
Outsole seems to lack grip.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of dirt or mud. The N-ergy outsole is designed for cushioning, but prolonged use on very smooth or wet surfaces may require caution. Check for excessive wear on the tread.
Discoloration or fading of the upper material.
This can occur from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh cleaning agents. Always air dry in the shade and use only mild, shoe-safe cleaners. For persistent issues, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 1906R sneakers:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently scrub the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag for machine washing on a delicate cycle.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not put them in a dryer, as high heat can damage materials and adhesives.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, consider using a sneaker-specific cleaning solution and brush kit.
- 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.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can affect the materials and glues.
