FAQs

Are the New Balance 1906 trainers good for running?

While the 1906 features advanced cushioning and support suitable for light training and walking, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers with a nod to performance heritage. For intense or long-distance running, dedicated running shoes might be more appropriate.

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

The 1906 shares a similar sole unit technology with models like the 2002R and 860v2, offering comparable comfort and support. Design aesthetics and specific upper constructions can vary, providing slightly different looks and fits.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The open-holed mesh upper offers breathability but limited protection against rain and puddles. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, consider waterproof footwear.

What materials are used in the 1906 trainers?

The trainers feature an upper constructed from open-holed mesh and curvilinear synthetic overlays, built upon a sole unit with ACTEVA LITE cushioning, N-ergy shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods.

How should I clean the synthetic overlays?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently scrub with a soft brush if needed. Ensure to wipe away any soap residue and allow to air dry.

Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on the sole

Ensure you are using the correct size. If the issue persists, consider your gait and consult with a footwear specialist. Check that the shoe's cushioning components are not degraded.

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit without being too tight.

Mesh upper feels too breathable in cold weather

Wear thicker, warmer socks. For very cold or wet conditions, consider alternative footwear designed for such environments.
