FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the 1906 sole unit?
The primary benefit is the combination of ACTEVA LITE cushioning for flexibility and N-ergy with ABZORB SBS pods for superior shock absorption and heel support.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While offering excellent comfort and support, the 1906 is primarily designed for general training and lifestyle wear, not specialized high-mileage running like marathons.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub the soiled areas and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Can I wear these trainers with different sock types?
Yes, they are compatible with most standard sock types. For optimal comfort and breathability, consider moisture-wicking athletic socks.
What does 'high-performance heritage' refer to?
It refers to the design philosophy that integrates advanced, proven performance technologies with a classic, refined aesthetic that respects the brand's history in athletic footwear.
Are there specific care instructions for the synthetic overlays?
The synthetic overlays can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the material or finish.
What sizes are available?
The New Balance 1906 trainers are available in a range of adult sizes. Please refer to the sizing chart for specific UK, EU, and US conversions.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from sole
Ensure there is no debris trapped between the sole layers. Sometimes, moisture can cause temporary squeaking; allow the shoes to air dry completely.
Discomfort after extended wear
Verify the correct size and fit. Consider using specialized insoles if additional arch support is needed. Break in the shoes gradually.
Mesh material showing wear
Clean gently with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid excessive scrubbing. Ensure proper storage to prevent snagging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Their compatibility is broad, suitable for general athletic activities and casual wear. For care, it is recommended to clean the trainers using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the mesh and synthetic overlay materials. Allow trainers to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources, to maintain their shape and integrity.
