FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 1906R features athletic support, it is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer. It is best suited for walking and daily casual use.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
The 1906R generally follows standard sizing. If you typically wear a specific UK size in New Balance footwear, we recommend sticking with that size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather material and the metallic finish. Always use manual cleaning methods.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable leather.
Does the silver finish peel off easily?
The metallic coating is designed for durability; however, it remains susceptible to damage from sharp objects or heavy abrasion.
Are these gender-specific?
These trainers are listed as part of the men's range but feature a versatile aesthetic suitable for anyone preferring this style.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather toe box
Insert shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the leather's natural shape and reduce deep crease formation.
Surface scuffs on the metallic finish
Use a specialized, non-abrasive leather cleaner or a soft microfiber cloth to gently buff out minor surface marks.
Feeling too tight after extended wear
Loosen the laces across the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling that occurs throughout the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1906R remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes may feel rigid at first; wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the metallic finish.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather and metallic coating to fade or crack.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard adult sizing, but consider your preferred sock thickness when selecting your UK size.
