FAQs

Are the New Balance 1906 trainers suitable for running?

The 1906 trainers feature advanced cushioning and support suitable for light training and daily wear. For long-distance or high-impact running, dedicated running shoes might be more appropriate.

How do I determine the correct size in unisex sizing?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, which usually provides conversions for men's and women's standard sizing to the unisex sizing. Measuring your foot length and width is recommended.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The open-holed mesh upper offers breathability but is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. For wet weather, consider shoes with water-resistant materials.

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB SBS pods?

The ABZORB SBS pods in the heel are designed to provide exceptional shock absorption, reducing impact and enhancing comfort during walking and standing.

How often should I clean my 1906 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, typically when they appear visibly dirty. Regular gentle cleaning will help maintain their appearance and material integrity.

What is the main difference between the 1906 and models like the 2002R?

While sharing similar sole technologies, the 1906 features a distinct upper design with open-holed mesh and specific curvilinear overlays, offering a refined take on performance heritage.

Is the nylon material durable?

Yes, nylon is a durable material often used in athletic footwear for its resilience and ability to withstand wear and tear.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Due to the unisex sizing, carefully compare your foot measurements to the size chart. If possible, try them on in person or consult customer service for sizing advice.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

While the sole unit is durable, cushioning can decrease with extensive use. Consider cleaning the shoes and ensuring no debris is trapped within the sole.

Mesh appears dirty or stained

Spot clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth or brush. For tougher stains, a specialized shoe cleaner for mesh might be necessary, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Cons
