FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 1906L trainers are designed primarily for everyday wear and general training. While they offer comfort and support, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the specific cushioning and stability features required for serious or long-distance running.
How do I clean the patent croc detailing?
Gently wipe the patent croc areas with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for patent leather or a very mild soap solution, followed by a clean damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
What is the main difference between the 1906L and other 1906 models?
The 1906L variant often features specific aesthetic updates, such as the black patent croc detailing in this case, while maintaining the core performance and comfort principles of the 1906 series.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prolong their lifespan and prevent discomfort.
What type of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For general comfort and fit, standard athletic or casual socks are recommended. Consider the thickness of the socks based on the fit of the shoe and the temperature.
How do I find my correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing guide available online or in-store. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. Trying them on in person is the most reliable method if possible.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have tried them on with appropriate socks. Consult the New Balance sizing chart and compare with your current footwear. If still unsure, consider visiting a physical store for fitting or checking reviews for fit feedback.
Laces are difficult to tie or come undone
Ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Try a different lacing technique or double-knotting. Replace worn-out laces if they lack grip.
Discomfort during initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict circulation.
Patent croc detailing appears dull
Clean the patent areas with a soft, damp cloth. Use a dedicated patent leather cleaner following product instructions to restore shine and suppleness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.
Compatibility:
These are footwear designed for adult males. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic apparel. While suitable for various activities, they are not engineered for highly specialized sports requiring specific technical footwear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
- Patent Leather: Use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a damp cloth to maintain the shine and prevent cracking. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
