FAQs

What makes the cushioning system in the 1906 special?

The 1906 features a combination of ACTEVA LITE for lightweight cushioning, N-ergy for shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods specifically in the heel to provide superior comfort and impact protection during wear.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

While the 1906 offers excellent cushioning for everyday comfort and light training, they are not optimized for marathon running. For dedicated marathon training, New Balance offers specialized running shoes designed for long-distance performance and support.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or consult with a retailer. Ensure you measure your foot accurately from heel to toe.

Can the synthetic overlays be cleaned easily?

Yes, the synthetic overlays can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used. Always allow to air dry.

What is the main difference between the 1906 and other New Balance models like the 2002R?

While both models share similar sole technologies, the 1906 often features a more distinct upper design referencing specific design eras, alongside its own unique aesthetic details and material combinations.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the 1906 trainers feature an open-holed mesh upper which prioritizes breathability. They are not designed to be waterproof and offer limited protection against heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper primarily consists of open-holed mesh for breathability, complemented by curvilinear synthetic overlays for support and structure.

Troubleshooting

Uneven fit or discomfort on one side

Loosen the laces and re-lace the shoe, ensuring even pressure across the foot. Try different lacing techniques to find a more personalized fit. If discomfort persists, consider insoles or consulting a footwear specialist.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

The cushioning components may naturally wear down with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities they are not designed for. For prolonged performance, consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage or wear.

Mesh material feels too breathable in cold weather

Wear thicker, insulated socks during colder conditions. For activities in very cold or wet weather, consider a shoe specifically designed for those environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The New Balance 1906 trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and support.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use, suitable for walking, casual wear, and light athletic activities. They are not specifically designed for highly technical sports or extreme conditions.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  • Socks: Wearing appropriate athletic socks can enhance comfort and help manage moisture.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
