The New Balance 1906L is a hybrid that merges a 1906 running shoe sole with a leather-and-mesh penny-loafer upper. Designers Charlotte Lee and Lani Perry built it on the 1906's N-ergy shock-absorbing outsole with ABZORB SBS heel pods, so it walks like a sneaker while reading as business casual. It suits people who want one shoe for office-casual days and long stretches on foot. Against a plain loafer it wins on cushioning; against a pure sneaker it wins on dressier looks, but the split personality divides opinion.
