FAQs

What makes the 'Protection Pack' unique?

The 'Protection Pack' is characterized by its distinctive layered aesthetic, featuring deliberately exposed foam and ruggedized edges, giving it a deconstructed yet durable appearance.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the 1906D series has running heritage, the 'Protection Pack' is primarily designed and marketed for lifestyle and casual wear due to its specific construction and materials. For serious running, dedicated performance running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine the right unisex size?

Consult the New Balance sizing guide. Generally, women may need to size down by 1.5 to 2 full sizes from their usual women's size to find the equivalent men's/unisex size.

Can these shoes be worn in the rain?

While the leather can be treated for water resistance, they are not fully waterproof. It's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and to dry them thoroughly if they do get wet.

What is the primary material used?

The primary material for this variant is premium leather, contributing to its durability and sophisticated look.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box or a dust bag is also recommended.

Is the 'Protection Pack' design suitable for all occasions?

The distinctive design is best suited for casual and semi-casual settings. While they offer a stylish statement, they may not be appropriate for very formal events.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for precise measurements. Consider trying different lacing techniques or using insoles for a more customized fit. Since these are unisex, men may need to size down and women may need to size up depending on the specific fit guide.

Leather appears scuffed or dirty

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner. Address scuffs promptly to prevent them from becoming permanent.

Reduced comfort over time

Ensure laces are properly tied to provide adequate support. Check the insoles for wear and consider replacing them if necessary. Allow the shoes to air out between wears to prevent moisture buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, the New Balance 1906D requires no technical setup. Simply lace them up and wear.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for general casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of everyday outfits. They are suitable for adult use.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to help absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  • Protection: Consider using a waterproof spray designed for leather to protect against the elements, especially if you plan to wear them in wet conditions.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
