FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports like football or basketball?
The New Balance 1906 Junior Trainers are designed for general everyday wear and light activities. While they offer good support and cushioning, they are not specialized sports shoes for high-impact or specific court sports like football or basketball, which require different types of support and traction.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot and refer to New Balance's official size chart. Remember to account for growth by leaving a small thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. If unsure, consider trying them on.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning of the trainers. Always clean them by hand using mild soap and water, then air dry.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam blend that provides excellent cushioning and compression resistance. It's designed to absorb impact and reduce stress on the feet and joints, offering a comfortable ride.
Are the trainers breathable?
Yes, the trainers feature mesh panels in the upper construction, which are designed to enhance airflow and breathability, helping to keep your child's feet cool and comfortable during wear.
Will the metallic silver overlays fade or peel?
With proper care and avoiding harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, the metallic overlays should retain their appearance over time. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods directly on these areas.
Troubleshooting
Trainers appear dirty very quickly.
White trainers naturally show dirt more. Implement a routine of wiping them down with a damp cloth after each significant use. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap or sneaker cleaner with a soft brush.
Child complains of discomfort or rubbing.
First, check the sizing to ensure it's correct for your child's foot. Ensure socks are worn and are not bunched up. Adjust the lacing to be snug but not too tight. Check inside the shoe for any foreign objects or manufacturing defects.
Squeaking sound when walking.
A common cause is moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's sole. Remove the insoles, clean and dry both the insoles and the inside of the shoes thoroughly. If the issue persists, it might be due to material friction and usually resolves with wear.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces.
Ensure the N-ergy outsole is clean and free of embedded dirt or debris, which can reduce traction. For optimal grip, these trainers are best suited for dry, even surfaces and casual play, not extreme wet or slick conditions.

Setup
These trainers are designed for easy wear. Simply ensure your child's foot is properly seated within the shoe. The lacing system (or hook-and-loop, if applicable to the specific variant) should be adjusted to provide a snug but comfortable fit, allowing for natural foot movement without being too loose or too tight. Always check that laces are securely tied to prevent tripping.
Compatibility
These New Balance 1906 trainers are compatible with a wide range of children's casual wear, including jeans, shorts, tracksuits, and school uniforms (where permitted). They are suitable for various casual activities like walking, playing at the park, or everyday school use. They are unisex in design.
Care
Maintaining the appearance and longevity of your white New Balance 1906 Junior Trainers is straightforward:
- Daily Wipe Down: After each use, especially if dirty, wipe down the man-made and mesh surfaces with a damp cloth to prevent dirt from setting in.
- Deep Cleaning (White Areas): For tougher marks, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with a mild soap or sneaker cleaner and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Mesh Care: Use a gentle dabbing motion on mesh areas to avoid damaging the material.
- Sole Cleaning: Scrub the N-ergy outsole with a brush to remove trapped dirt and maintain traction.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. A sprinkle of baking soda inside the shoes overnight can also help absorb smells.
