FAQs
What is the primary material of the New Balance 1906R 'Harbor Grey' trainers?
The trainers feature a combination of leather and mesh materials for the upper, providing a balance of support and breathability.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are inspired by running shoe design and offer good cushioning for everyday comfort and light activities. They are not optimized for high-performance marathon running.
How should I clean the metallic silver overlays?
Gently wipe the silver overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this could scratch or damage the finish.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning by hand with a soft brush or damp cloth is the best method to preserve the materials and shape.
What does the '1906R' in the product name signify?
The '1906R' likely refers to the year the original model was introduced or inspired by, with the 'R' often indicating a re-release or updated version.
How does the ABZORB cushioning work?
ABZORB is a New Balance technology that absorbs impact, providing a cushioned and comfortable feel underfoot by reducing shock.
Is this shoe available in other colors?
While this guide focuses on the 'Harbor Grey' with silver, the 1906R series is often available in various colorways. Please check with retailers for available options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or narrow.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing thinner socks or trying to break them in gradually with shorter wear times.
Discoloration on the mesh or silver overlays.
Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing, which can damage the material or finish.
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure the laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a textured pair that offers better grip.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time.
This is normal wear. For continued comfort, consider rotating with another pair of shoes or exploring New Balance's range of insoles.
