FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 1906R is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer. While it offers good comfort, it is not recommended for dedicated long-distance running or high-impact athletic training.
How do I determine if size 5.5 UK is right for me?
It is recommended to measure your foot length while standing and compare it to standard sizing charts, ensuring a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the standard insoles are generally removable if you require the use of custom orthotics.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the synthetic upper is not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain to prevent moisture ingress.
How should I clean the outsole?
The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a scrub brush and warm soapy water to remove debris trapped in the tread patterns.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the 1906R is designed as a unisex model suitable for both men and women.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during the day
Use a double-knot or ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets for maximum tension.
Material showing surface dust or grime
Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to gently lift surface debris from the synthetic upper.
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the lacing tension slightly starting from the bottom eyelet to allow for more volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1906R trainers maintain their performance, start by verifying your UK size as they are designed for a standard adult fit. When lacing them, adjust the tension starting from the bottom eyelets to distribute pressure evenly across the instep. For care, keep the synthetic uppers clean by wiping them down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals that could degrade the synthetic surface. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive damage.
