Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 1906R 'Brighton Grey' trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro aesthetics and modern comfort. Their key benefit lies in providing a stylish, everyday sneaker with reliable cushioning and durability. A potential consideration is the bulky silhouette, which may not suit all preferences. This model features a breathable mesh upper with supportive synthetic overlays, an EVA foam midsole for shock absorption, and a robust Ndurance rubber outsole for lasting wear and traction. The padded collar and tongue enhance overall comfort, while the signature "N" logo provides a classic New Balance finish.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 1906R trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and style. They are not specifically engineered for high-performance running, which typically requires shoes with specialized support and cushioning technologies.

What is the main difference between the Brighton Grey colourway and other 1906R models?

The 'Brighton Grey' designation refers to a specific colour combination featuring a grey mesh base with various shades of grey and black synthetic overlays. Other 1906R models may feature different colour palettes and material compositions.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance or the retailer. The UK 6.5 size is indicated for this specific product. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the chart for the most accurate fit.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure. Hand washing using mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper of this specific 'Brighton Grey' model is primarily constructed from mesh, with synthetic overlays providing structure and support. The variant description also notes leather material, indicating potential material variations within the 1906R series.

How does the Ndurance rubber outsole contribute to the shoe's performance?

The Ndurance rubber is a highly durable carbon rubber compound used in the outsole. It is engineered to provide enhanced longevity and traction, resisting wear and tear from regular use.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound during walking

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole and ensuring both are completely dry. If the issue persists, it may be a manufacturing anomaly.

Laces wear out quickly

Ensure laces are not overtightened, which can cause unnecessary stress. Consider replacing them with a more durable lace material if this is a recurring problem.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While the Ndurance outsole offers good traction, performance on very wet surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For enhanced grip in wet conditions, consider alternative footwear designed for such environments.
