FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for all types of sports?
The New Balance 1906 Trainers are designed for general active lifestyles, including running, playing, and everyday wear. For highly specialized sports requiring specific support, dedicated sports footwear might be more appropriate.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
Measure your child's foot from heel to the longest toe. It's recommended to add about 1-1.5 cm for growth and comfort. Compare this measurement to the New Balance size chart for children's footwear.
Can the insoles be removed for cleaning or orthotics?
In many New Balance trainers, insoles are removable. Check if the insoles in the 1906 model can be lifted out. If so, they can be cleaned separately. If orthotics are needed, ensure they fit comfortably within the shoe.
Is the open-holed mesh durable enough for rough play?
The mesh is designed for breathability and flexibility. While the overlays provide some structure, very rough play could potentially snag the mesh. Regular inspection and careful cleaning will help maintain its integrity.
What is the main benefit of the ABZORB and N-ergy technology?
ABZORB cushioning and N-ergy shock absorption work together to absorb impact forces, protecting the foot and providing a comfortable, responsive feel during physical activity.
What does '1906' refer to in the product name?
The '1906' designation often refers to the original year of a design or technology within New Balance's history, indicating a heritage-inspired design. These trainers are a modern adaptation of a 2000s era performance runner.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the correct size was selected. If the shoes are new, they may need a short break-in period. Check if the laces are tied too tightly.
Mesh upper looks dirty
Gently clean with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse carefully with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Reduced cushioning effect
Over time, cushioning can compress. Ensure the shoes fit correctly; poor fit can affect perceived cushioning. Check for excessive wear on the sole.
Heel feels unstable
Verify the shoe size and width. The segmented ABZORB SBS pods in the heel are designed for stability; ensure they are not obstructed or damaged.
