FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 1906 youth trainers are designed with a 2000s runner aesthetic for style and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning and traction for casual wear and light activities, they are not specialized for high-performance running.
How do I find the right size for my child?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on the product page or in-store. It's recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it with the provided measurements, as sizing can vary between models and brands.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning components. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap, and allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the main benefit of the ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning?
ABZORB cushioning absorbs impact, while N-ergy technology provides responsive cushioning that returns energy. Together, they offer excellent shock absorption and a comfortable, smooth feel with every step.
What does 'Y2K style' mean for these trainers?
Y2K style refers to the fashion trends from the late 1990s and early 2000s. For these trainers, it means a design inspired by the chunky silhouettes, layered materials, and athletic-inspired look popular during that era.
How do I clean the leather overlays?
Wipe the leather overlays with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected, referencing the size guide if necessary. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up or down.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The cushioning materials may naturally compress with extended use. For optimal comfort, ensure the shoes are used for intended purposes and not subjected to excessive wear or heavy impact.
Dirt or stains on the mesh material
Gently clean the mesh using a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Blot the area gently and allow to air dry. Avoid vigorous scrubbing which can damage the mesh fibers.
