FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
While based on performance heritage, the 1906D is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual walking shoe rather than a technical marathon runner.
How do I know if the UK 13 size is right for me?
New Balance typically offers a standard athletic fit. If you have previously owned New Balance trainers in UK 13, this model should fit consistently.
Can I use custom orthotic insoles in these shoes?
Yes, the standard insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics for personalized arch support.
What is the best way to clean the suede or synthetic components?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft brush for the specific material types, taking care to test a small area first.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers are not marketed as waterproof; they are breathable, which means they are best suited for dry or mild weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather and synthetic overlays maintain their shape.
Slight discomfort during initial break-in
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors over the first few days to allow the upper materials to adapt to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1906D trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Fit: When first trying on the shoes, ensure your socks provide the level of cushioning you intend to wear daily.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt using a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or discolour.
- Rotation: If possible, alternate your footwear to allow the internal materials to fully dry out from perspiration between wears, extending the life of the padding.
