FAQs

Are these shoes good for running?

The 1906 features advanced cushioning for comfort, making them suitable for everyday wear and light activity. For dedicated, high-performance running, specialized running shoes might offer more targeted features.

How do I determine my correct size in unisex trainers?

It's recommended to consult the New Balance sizing guide, which often provides specific instructions for unisex footwear. Measuring your foot length in centimeters or inches is usually the most accurate method.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the leather and mixed materials. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What is the main difference between the 1906 and other New Balance models like the 2002R?

While sharing some sole unit technologies, the 1906 often features a distinct upper design and aesthetic, reflecting a specific era's design conventions and performance focus.

How durable are the synthetic overlays?

The curvilinear synthetic overlays are designed to provide structure and support, contributing to the overall durability of the shoe's upper construction.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

Any type of comfortable socks suitable for trainers will work. For enhanced comfort and moisture-wicking, consider athletic socks made from breathable materials.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot carefully. Consider the unisex nature of the shoe and consult reviews for fit feedback if available.

Discomfort after initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider using insoles for added comfort.

Mesh material appears dirty

Use a soft brush with a mixture of mild soap and cool water to gently clean the mesh. Wipe away residue with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Leather components show scuffs

Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, consider using a leather conditioner or cleaner suitable for the shoe's material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The New Balance 1906 trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic apparel. Their unisex sizing means they are suitable for individuals across different foot sizes within the specified range.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather and synthetic overlays with a clean, damp cloth. For the mesh areas, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
