FAQs
What is the main advantage of the 1906 sole unit?
The sole unit combines ACTEVA LITE cushioning, N-ergy shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods to provide exceptional comfort, support, and responsiveness for both daily wear and athletic activities.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning and support, the 1906 are primarily designed as trainers for everyday wear and light athletic activities. For serious or long-distance running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine my correct size in unisex trainers?
Measure your foot length in centimeters or inches and compare it to the New Balance unisex sizing chart provided on their website or by the retailer. It's often recommended to measure both feet as they can differ slightly.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand wash using mild soap and water, and air dry.
What type of material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from open-holed mesh for breathability, complemented by curvilinear synthetic overlays for structure and style.
What is the difference between the 1906 and other New Balance series like the 2002R?
While sharing similar sole technologies, models like the 1906 and 2002R may differ in upper design, specific cushioning tuning, and aesthetic details reflecting different design eras and intentions.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Verify your foot measurement against the New Balance sizing chart for unisex trainers. Consider if you prefer a snug or more relaxed fit and adjust accordingly.
Mesh upper feels too breathable for cold weather
Consider wearing thicker socks for added warmth or use these trainers for indoor activities during colder months.
Minor scuffs on synthetic overlays
Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper scuffs, a magic eraser can be used cautiously on synthetic materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: The unisex design makes them compatible with a wide range of foot shapes. Ensure you consult the sizing chart to find your equivalent UK size, especially if you are accustomed to gender-specific sizing.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the sole unit with a damp cloth. Stubborn dirt can be removed with a brush.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
