Choosing Oval Laces for the New Balance 1906R
The New Balance 1906R uses oval laces, not flat. Men's, women's and unisex 1906R shoes take an oval lace around 140 cm (55") across 7 eyelet pairs, which keeps the original look of its modern retro-tech upper.
An oval lace is the closest match to the stock style. Match the original colour for a like-for-like finish, or choose a contrast shade while keeping the oval shape and length. Measure the original lace rather than relying only on the model name.
Why the 1906R Uses Oval Laces
The 1906R comes with oval laces as standard — a rounded, slightly flattened lace that suits its sporty, technical style. Keeping the oval shape gives the most authentic look and sits best in the shoe's eyelets.
Whatever colour you choose, keep the oval shape and the same length so the shoe laces up as intended.
Refreshing Your New Balance 1906R's Look
The 1906R has a clean, tonal upper on many colourways, so a fresh oval lace can subtly change the whole look. A matching shade keeps it understated, while a contrast colour adds a pop.
Keep the oval shape and 140 cm length so the shoe still laces up neatly across all 7 eyelet pairs.
