The New Balance 1906R Gore-Tex is a waterproof version of the 2000s-style 1906R runner, built with a Gore-Tex membrane lining and a layered mesh, suede and synthetic upper. Underfoot it uses an ACTEVA LITE foam midsole with N-ergy cushioning in the heel and a rubber outsole, so it is cushioned and stable rather than soft and bouncy. It suits people who want a retro-tech sneaker they can wear in rain and slush without changing shoes. Against plain 1906Rs it trades breathability for weather protection, and against trail shoes it is a lifestyle shoe with a road-oriented sole.

Owners of the 1906R line praise its comfort and retro look, and the Gore-Tex version is valued for keeping feet dry in wet weather. The common complaints are warmth and a stiffer, heavier feel than the non-waterproof model.
