FAQs

What makes the cushioning in the 1906A unique?

The 1906A features a combination of ACTEVA LITE cushioning for lightweight responsiveness and segmented ABZORB SBS pods in the heel for enhanced comfort and shock absorption on varied terrain.

Is this shoe suitable for competitive running?

Yes, the advanced technology, including superior shock absorption from the N-ergy outsole and supportive structure, makes the 1906A well-suited for competitive athletes.

How do I clean the distressed leather elements?

For the distressed leather cutouts, use a soft, dry cloth for general dusting. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.

What is the primary benefit of the TPU heel cage?

The TPU heel cage provides structural integrity and enhances stability, ensuring a secure fit and reducing unwanted movement of the heel during athletic activities.

Can these trainers be worn for everyday casual use?

Absolutely. The breathable mesh upper, comfortable cushioning, and distinctive style make the 1906A an excellent choice for comfortable and fashionable everyday wear.

What does 'Stability Web arch technology' do?

This technology provides targeted support to the arch of the foot, promoting better biomechanical efficiency and reducing strain during movement.

Troubleshooting

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

Ensure the shoe's internal structure is not compromised. Over time, cushioning may naturally decrease; consider replacement if performance is significantly impacted.

Slipping sensation

Check if the shoe size is correct. Ensure laces are properly tightened to secure the foot. Clean the outsole if it is covered in mud or debris.

Discomfort in the arch area

Verify that the shoe size is appropriate. The Stability Web technology is designed for arch support; ensure your foot is positioned correctly within the shoe. If persistent discomfort occurs, consult a footwear specialist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup. They are designed for direct use. Compatibility is with standard athletic activities and casual wear. To care for your New Balance 1906A trainers, we recommend the following:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains on the mesh, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. Avoid machine washing.
  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the integrity of the materials and color.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for wear and tear. Ensure laces are tied correctly for optimal fit and support.
