FAQs

What is ABZORB technology?

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance midsole technology that absorbs impact through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, providing excellent shock absorption and comfort.

How does Stability Web technology work?

Stability Web is an outsole technology that provides lightweight, rigid arch support, enhancing stability and helping to prevent excessive pronation during movement.

What is the N-ergy outsole?

N-ergy is a New Balance outsole technology designed to provide superior cushioning and shock absorption, working in conjunction with the ABZORB midsole for an exceptionally comfortable ride.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or athletic training?

While the New Balance 1906R offers excellent comfort and support, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker, blending heritage design with modern comfort. For dedicated running or intense athletic training, New Balance offers specific performance-oriented models.

How do I clean the metallic parts of the shoe?

For metallic finishes, use a soft, damp cloth with a very mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the finish. Gently wipe the surface and air dry.

What does the 'R' in 1906R signify?

The 'R' typically indicates a 'Reissue' or 'Retro' version of a classic model, signifying a modern iteration of a shoe from the brand's archives, updated with contemporary technologies and materials.

Are replacement insoles available?

While the 1906R comes with high-quality insoles, standard replacement insoles can be purchased from New Balance or third-party retailers if you wish to customize fit or replace worn-out ones.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.

Ensure you have the correct size. Allow for a brief break-in period, as new footwear often needs to mold to your foot. Check that laces are not too tight, and adjust for a comfortable fit.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Often, this is due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and lightly dusting with baby powder. If the issue persists, check for any loose elements in the sole or upper.

White or light-colored areas (like the midsole) are discolored or scuffed.

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for midsoles, or a gentle abrasive like a Magic Eraser (test on an inconspicuous area first). For superficial scuffs, a damp cloth might suffice. Regular cleaning can prevent stains from setting in.

Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 1906R sneakers.

  1. Spot Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Gently scrub soiled areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, remove laces and insoles. Use a dedicated sneaker cleaner following product instructions. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  3. Lace Care: Laces can be hand-washed separately with mild soap and air-dried.
  4. Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's shape.
