FAQs

What makes the 1906L Loafer unique?

The 1906L Loafer uniquely combines the performance-inspired design elements of the New Balance 1906 sneaker, such as the mesh upper and ABZORB cushioning, with the silhouette and ease of a classic penny loafer.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic activities?

While it features performance-inspired technology like ABZORB cushioning, it is designed as a lifestyle shoe. It is not intended for rigorous athletic training or running.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner, always testing on a small, hidden area first and following the cleaner's instructions carefully. Avoid getting the suede wet.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

You can wear them with or without socks. If you choose to wear socks, thin, low-profile socks or no-show socks are recommended to maintain the loafer aesthetic.

Are these shoes true to size?

It is generally recommended to refer to New Balance's sizing guide and consider your personal fit preferences. The product description for this specific size is UK 5.5.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper primarily features an open holed mesh with curvilinear synthetic overlays, and the specific variant mentioned uses suede for a premium finish.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the material and affect its appearance. The mesh upper also offers limited water resistance.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Consider using thin socks initially.

Suede material appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Mesh feels overly warm

While the mesh is breathable, prolonged activity in very hot conditions might still lead to warmth. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
