How do I ensure I select the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance or the retailer. Ensure your foot measurement is accurate, especially considering UK sizing which can differ from US or EU sizing.

No, the trainers feature a polyester mesh and synthetic upper, which is breathable but not waterproof. They are not suitable for wear in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the main benefit of the N-ergy cushioning?
The N-ergy cushioning technology is designed to absorb impact, providing a comfortable and responsive feel underfoot, protecting joints during physical activity.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning to maintain the integrity of the materials and cushioning.
What does the '1906R' signify?
The '1906R' refers to the year the New Balance 801 model was released, and the 'R' often denotes a reissued or updated version of a classic design.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?
With regular wear and proper care, these trainers can last from 6 months to over a year, depending on usage intensity and maintenance. The durability of the Ndurance outsole contributes to their longevity.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to new materials settling or moisture. Try walking on different surfaces. If persistent, ensure the insoles are dry and properly seated.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a similar length and material. Avoid overtightening laces, which can stress the eyelets and the lace material.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The N-ergy cushioning is designed for durability, but like all cushioning, it will naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not subjected to excessive weight or extreme conditions.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate mild cleaners as per care instructions.
