The 1906 family of models consists of the 1906R, 1906U, and 1906A, which all have the same sizing and comfort.Â
Due to the fact that the 1906 family of models shares the exact same midsole as the 2002R and also has a similar overall shape as the 2002R, sizing and comfort are the same.
The 1906 family has a slightly wider toe box area.
For normal or narrow width feet: go down half a size from your true size. (ie: I am a true size 9.5 with regular width feet, so I buy my 1906 models in a size 9).
For wider feet: go true to size. (ie: I am a true size 9.5 with wide width feet, so I buy my 1906 models in a size 9.5).
The 1906 family of models do NOT come in wider or narrower sizing.
