FAQs
Are the New Balance 1906A trainers suitable for running?
The 1906A trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and offer excellent comfort and support for daily activities. While they can handle light jogging, they are not optimized for high-intensity running compared to dedicated running shoes.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot length. It is also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals and models.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. While they can withstand light splashes, they are not recommended for wear in heavy rain or wet conditions as they may become soaked and take time to dry.
What is the main difference between the 1906A and other 1906 models?
The 'A' in 1906A typically denotes a specific iteration or slight variation in materials or design details within the 1906 series, while maintaining the core features of cushioning and heritage style.
How often should I clean my 1906A trainers?
It is recommended to clean them as needed, especially after wearing them in dusty or dirty environments. Regular spot cleaning will help maintain their appearance and material integrity.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Mid-crew or ankle socks made from moisture-wicking materials are generally recommended for comfort and to prevent potential rubbing during the break-in period.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear
This is common due to the structured nature of the cushioning. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure socks are worn that cover the heel and ankle area.
Shoes feel slightly loose or too tight
Adjust the lacing pattern. For a tighter fit, use a runner's knot or ensure laces are pulled evenly. For a looser fit, re-lace with fewer eyelets or a different pattern. Consider insoles for minor fit adjustments.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
This can happen with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are cleaned regularly, as dirt and debris can affect performance. If the cushioning has significantly degraded, it may be time to consider replacement.
Squeaking sound from the sole
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or friction. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help reduce friction-induced squeaks.

Care Instructions:
