FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 1906R is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for everyday use and walking, not as a technical running shoe.
How do I choose the right size?
The New Balance 1906R fits true to standard UK sizing. If you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider a half-size increase.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the structural adhesives and cushioning materials. Stick to manual cleaning.
Is the 1906R suitable for flat feet?
The shoe provides moderate support and cushioning; however, those with specific medical needs should consult with a professional regarding custom insoles.
Does the black and red colourway fade easily?
Like any textile-based sneaker, excessive exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Proper storage is recommended to keep colors vibrant.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure or tightness at specific points.
Loosen the lacing pattern at the affected area to allow the padding to redistribute pressure properly.
Accumulation of dirt on the exterior mesh.
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft brush to gently lift debris from the mesh gaps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 1906R trainers maintain their performance and look, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the laces are tightened consistently from bottom to top to utilize the padded zones effectively without restricting circulation.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt after use. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading and degradation.
