FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The New Balance 1906 trainers are designed with a standard fit. For individuals with wider feet, it is recommended to check for available wide (2E or 4E) options or consult a sizing guide to determine the best fit.

How do the ABZORB and N-Ergy technologies differ?

ABZORB technology focuses on cushioning and shock absorption, reducing impact. N-Ergy technology is designed for energy return, providing a springier feel and enhancing propulsion during movement.

Can I wear these for marathon running?

While the ABZORB and N-Ergy technologies offer good cushioning and energy return, these trainers are primarily designed for shorter to medium-distance running and training. For marathon distances, a shoe specifically designed for ultra-endurance may be more suitable.

How often should I replace my New Balance 1906 trainers?

The lifespan of running shoes varies based on usage, terrain, and individual biomechanics. As a general guideline, consider replacing them every 300-500 miles (approximately 500-800 kilometers) or when you notice significant wear on the sole or a reduction in cushioning.

Is the "Graphite" color true to the images?

The "Graphite" color is a shade of grey, often with blue accents as indicated. Actual color perception can vary slightly based on screen calibration and lighting conditions.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper of the New Balance 1906 trainers is made from a lightweight, breathable synthetic material, specifically nylon in this "Graphite" colorway.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it. If the sound persists, it may be a minor manufacturing anomaly.

Uneven wear on the sole

Ensure you are using the trainers for their intended purpose. Uneven wear can result from improper gait or using them for activities they are not designed for. Check for blockages or debris on the sole.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adjust. Ensure socks are not bunched up inside the shoe.

Material feels stiff

New trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. The synthetic upper and cushioning technologies will adapt to your foot shape over time.
