FAQs
Are the New Balance 1906D trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard New Balance sizing, but the structured fit may feel snug compared to minimalist sneakers.
Can I use these for heavy gym workouts?
While durable, these are primarily categorized as lifestyle trainers; they are best suited for daily wear and walking rather than heavy lifting or high-intensity sports.
How do I best preserve the grey colour?
Keep them away from direct, harsh sunlight when stored, and use a standard sneaker protective spray to repel liquid and stains.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the stock insoles can typically be removed if you prefer to use custom orthotics.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the specialized structural components and glue bonds.
What is the primary material used?
The 1906D series utilizes a combination of synthetic textiles and high-quality overlays designed for durability and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Loosen the laces down to the second eyelet to allow the tongue to expand fully for easier foot entry.
Surface marks on the grey upper
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam or a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the textured fabric.
Feeling of tightness in the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to a wider configuration, or verify that the footbed is lying completely flat within the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 1906D trainers, proper care is essential. When you first receive your shoes, ensure a proper fit by wearing the socks you intend to use daily. For routine maintenance, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the synthetic and textile materials. Air dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive breakdown.
