FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the integrity of the materials and foam.
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard children's sizing, but it is always best to measure the foot and compare it with the New Balance size guide.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
While they are durable, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or light damp conditions.
What is the primary material used?
The 1906 trainers feature a blend of synthetic and textile materials designed for a balance of breathability and structure.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
Yes, the 1906 series is known for its balanced cushioning platform, which provides consistent arch and heel support for active children.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the materials to flex and conform to the foot shape.
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot the laces or swap for elastic laces if the child struggles with traditional tie closures.
Surface scuffing
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning brush or a soft toothbrush with mild soap to gently buff out marks on the sole and upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1906 trainers last, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe down the synthetic and fabric uppers with a damp cloth after outdoor use to remove dirt and mud.
- Drying: Always air-dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight, as excessive heat can damage the foam cushioning.
- Lace Management: Ensure the laces are tightened appropriately to maintain the intended support structure of the trainer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup inside the shoe.
- Fit Check: Periodically check the fit as children grow; ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the big toe and the front of the shoe.
