New Balance 1906R Shoes

About This Item

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.

Disappointing

Overall nice look but are quite hard. I was surprised how little squish they had which makes them not great for longer wear, even just simply walking. I was hoping to use them as just an everyday, casual errand sneaker. I also noticed they run a bit big, which is odd for me given I have a slightly wider foot and normally never need to size down. I ended up keeping them because I bought them for a trip and didn’t have time to return, otherwise I probably would have found an alternative option.

Stiff Cushion

Take some time to break in the shoes. The cushions are quite stiff. I used them for Zumba and my feet were sore and painful

Nice Shoes

They're good shoes but they're a little more flashy/sparkly blue then i thought

Done In 4 Months

The upper developed holes at bend points in 4 months. The holes occur at the front of the shoe on the inside of the foot and on the top. Why build a show with some parts that last forever (the sole) and others that wear out right away? I love wearing the shoe and the sole has worn well. The upper breathes well. I won't spend this much money on a shoe that wears out this quickly again.

I didn’t care for how much they changed the fit and feel of this shoe I bought the same shoe last year and loved it I just gave this pair to my sister because I couldn’t get comfortable with the shoes She said she loves them I would say she’s a satisfied customer

Ran Small Despite Other Reviews

Super cute shoe. Read such good reviews and even read multiple that said the shoe runs really wide so I thought my normal size would be perfect, but the heel box is way too small for me and it’s squishes the back of my heel. My feet hurt after just a couple hours wearing and walking in the shoe. If I sized up half it would probably be much better but I’m not sure how that happened since so many people claimed that the shoe runs super wide and that most people should size DOWN? Just unfortunate that I chose the wrong size and I already worn them out multiple times hoping they would break in or I’d get used to them but they were just too small so I can’t return them :( Still a cute shoe and I’m sure they’d be great if I sized up a half or whole.

Shoes Are Falling Apart After 4 Months (Mild Use).

I bought these shoes as an investment. I don't buy shoes often because they're expensive and I try to buy quality ones. My friend bought the black versions and vouched for them. I trust her opinion on most clothes related things so I decided to buy a pair of the stone colored ones. They're really comfortable and stylish but the integrity of the shoes are HORRIBLE. I've barely had these for FOUR months and the outsole is already falling apart. I included pictures of the damage. Parts of the outsole are peeling off around the heel and side. I only wear them at my part time office job and when I'm running errands. I don't wear them to work out or for anything strenuous so I am shocked that they're already falling apart. I am a full time college student and cannot afford to buy brand new shoes, especially ones of this price, every FOUR months. I bought these to last at least 2 years. I am very disappointed.

Retro Soul, Future Stride

The New Balance 1906R feels like time travel for your feet—where early-2000s design meets modern-day comfort. Every step is smooth, stable, and surprisingly light, while the layered look turns heads without trying too hard. It’s not just a sneaker—it’s a statement that performance and style can coexist effortlessly.

Love, Love, Love These Shoes

Probably the most comfortable athletic shoes I've ever owned. New Balance are the best IMO. The structure is also very solid, but soft. A++
