FAQs
What is the primary cushioning technology in the New Balance 1906W?
The New Balance 1906W features a combination of ACTEVA LITE cushioning, N-ergy shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS pods at the heel for a comprehensive comfort and support system.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, they are designed with running technology, making them suitable for light to moderate running, walking, and daily wear. They offer excellent shock absorption and comfort for these activities.
How do I clean the upper part of the shoe?
For the textile and synthetic upper, gently wipe dirt and stains with a soft brush or a damp cloth using mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and always allow them to air dry completely.
What does 'Ndurance' mean for the outsole?
Ndurance is a durable rubber compound used in the outsole of the New Balance 1906W, strategically placed in high-wear areas to provide maximum durability and traction.
Is the sizing true to fit?
New Balance shoes generally run true to size. For the New Balance 1906W in UK 7.5, we recommend selecting your usual size. However, trying them on is always the best way to ensure an optimal fit.
What is the benefit of the Ortholite insole?
The Ortholite insole provides neutral cushioning, offering additional comfort, breathability, and moisture management inside the shoe for a more pleasant wearing experience.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
While the synthetic upper offers some resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or very wet conditions to preserve their materials and comfort.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new footwear, especially those with supportive synthetic overlays. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials and cushioning to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose.
My shoes are making a squeaking sound.
Often, a squeak comes from the insole rubbing against the bottom of the shoe. Try removing the `Ortholite` insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be the outsole on certain floor types.
The shoes are getting dirty quickly, especially the light-colored synthetic areas.
For routine cleaning, use a soft cloth or brush with a mild soap solution. For tougher stains on the synthetic overlays, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for synthetics can be effective. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow them to air dry completely.
My feet feel hot or sweaty.
While the knit upper offers breathability, individual foot temperature varies. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking athletic socks). If possible, allow shoes to air out between uses, and remove the `Ortholite` insoles to let them dry completely.
