FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for serious running?
While inspired by running shoes and offering excellent cushioning, the New Balance 1906R is optimized for casual wear and light athletic activities such as walking or light gym sessions, rather than high-performance or long-distance running.
How do I choose the correct size?
The New Balance 1906R Trainers are available in standard UK adult sizes. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to ensure the best fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the leather and the cushioning technologies. Always follow the spot cleaning and air-drying instructions provided in the care section.
What kind of activities are these trainers best for?
They are ideal for everyday casual wear, urban exploration, light workouts at the gym, and comfortable walking. Their design offers versatility for various non-intensive activities.
What is the `ABZORB SBS` cushioning?
`ABZORB SBS` is a New Balance proprietary cushioning technology designed to provide enhanced shock absorption and a softer, more responsive feel underfoot.
What is the upper material?
The upper features a combination of mesh for breathability and leather overlays for structure and style.
Troubleshooting
**Squeaking noise when walking**
This can sometimes be due to insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder underneath, and then reinserting it. If the squeak persists, it might be due to moisture; ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing.
**Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear**
New trainers, especially those with leather components, often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider checking your size or lacing technique.
**Discoloration or stubborn stains on the mesh upper**
For deeper stains, create a paste with baking soda and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently apply to the stain with a soft brush, let sit for 10-15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth. Air dry completely.
**Sole appears worn quickly**
While the N-ergy outsole is durable, excessive wear on specific areas can indicate a particular gait or heavy use. Ensure the trainers are being used for their intended purpose (casual wear, light athletic activities) rather than intensive, high-impact sports. Regular rotation with other footwear can also extend sole life.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 1906R Trainers, which feature a leather and mesh upper.
- Regular Cleaning:
- Mesh: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For tougher spots, use a mild soap (like dish soap) diluted in water with a soft cloth or sponge. Wipe gently and then rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
- Leather: Wipe down with a clean, damp cloth. For scuffs or deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Do not put them in a dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Overwashing: Spot cleaning is often better than submerging the entire shoe.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and mesh materials to add an extra layer of protection.
