Is the 1906R good for actual running?

It is styled as a running shoe but built for casual wear. The cushioning is comfortable, yet at about 347 g (12.2 oz) it is heavy for training. Use it for walking and everyday wear.

How does the 1906R compare with the 2002R?

They share the same sole family: ACTEVA LITE, N-ergy and ABZORB SBS. The 1906R has a more open mesh upper with curvier overlays. Pick whichever upper you prefer; the ride is close.

Does it fit true to size?

Many owners say it runs small, so consider a half size up. The mesh upper has some give, and the TPU heel cage keeps the heel in place.

Is the 1906R waterproof?

No. The open-holed mesh upper is breathable, not waterproof, so it is a fair-weather shoe. Spot clean it rather than machine washing.

One pair of New Balance 1906R sneakers with the laces fitted. No spare laces or insoles are included.

About it

Looking for other options? Shop the 1906

The 1906R, like its cousins the 2002R and the 860v2, is led by a sole unit featuring a combination of flexible ACTEVA LITE cushioning, shock absorbing N-ergy, and segmented ABZORB SBS pods at the heel. This hi-tech approach is also reflected in the 1906R’s upper design, which features open-holed mesh and a series of curvilinear synthetic overlays. This distinctive take on the era’s design conventions offers a refined execution of high-performance heritage.

About the New Balance 1906R Men's

The New Balance 1906R is a retro-running sneaker built on the same sole family as the 2002R and 860v2: ACTEVA LITE foam, N-ergy shock absorption and segmented ABZORB SBS pods in the heel. The upper mixes open-holed mesh with curvy synthetic overlays and a TPU heel cage. It is a lifestyle shoe styled after 2000s performance runners, not a dedicated running trainer. Owners praise its cushioning, materials and versatile look, while many find it runs small and some call it heavy for a sneaker.
