FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your child's foot. Ensure there is a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing.

Are these shoes suitable for specific sports like basketball or soccer?

The New Balance 1906 trainers are designed for general training and everyday wear. They offer good support and traction for casual activities and light sports, but may not provide the specialized features required for competitive or high-impact sports like basketball or soccer.

What is the main benefit of the N-ergy technology?

N-ergy technology is designed to provide shock absorption, helping to reduce the impact felt by the foot during movement, which contributes to overall comfort during wear.

How often should I clean the trainers?

Clean the trainers as needed, especially if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain their appearance and the integrity of the materials.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as this can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and materials. Hand washing or spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What does 'stability web technology' do?

Stability web technology is integrated into the shoe's design to provide enhanced arch support, helping to maintain foot alignment and stability during movement.

How do the ABZORB SBS pods contribute to comfort?

ABZORB SBS pods are specifically placed in the heel to offer additional cushioning and shock absorption, reducing impact and improving comfort, especially during walking and running.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace fastening. Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight. If the issue persists, check if this is the correct size; consider trying a half-size up or down if available.

Child complains of discomfort after wearing.

Ensure socks are worn and are the appropriate thickness. Verify the shoe size is correct and that the laces are not digging in. Allow a break-in period if the shoes are new.

Traction seems poor on slippery surfaces.

Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. Note that while grippy, performance may vary on very wet or polished surfaces.

Shoes appear dirty quickly.

The 'Dark Silver Metallic' color can be prone to showing marks. Clean regularly with a damp cloth as per care instructions to maintain appearance.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  • Laces: Remove laces for cleaning if necessary, and wash them separately by hand.
