FAQs
Are New Balance 1906R trainers suitable for running?
While the 1906R features performance-grade cushioning, it is categorized as a lifestyle trainer. It is best suited for walking and daily casual wear.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
The 1906R follows standard New Balance sizing. If you have worn 2002R or 860v2 models, you should find a consistent fit in this series.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the overlays and the adhesive used in the sole unit. Stick to hand cleaning with mild soap.
What is the benefit of the N-ergy cushioning?
N-ergy technology provides excellent shock absorption, which helps reduce impact on your joints when walking on hard surfaces.
Is the upper material durable?
The combination of open-holed mesh and structural overlays is designed for durability and breathability, though it should be kept away from harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt trapped in the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry toothbrush to gently dislodge dust and debris from the open-holed sections.
Creasing in the midsole area
Midsole compression is natural due to the cushioning technology; allow the shoe to recover for 24 hours between heavy usage days.
Laces feel too loose or tight
The 1906R features a supportive upper overlay system; re-lace the shoes using different eyelet configurations to adjust the tension across the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK adult shoe size, as the 1906R structure provides a locked-in feel. To maintain the condition of the trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, which can damage the adhesive and material overlays. Instead, clean the mesh and overlays using a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For spot cleaning, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth, blotting the area rather than rubbing. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or degrading.
