FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 1906D 'Protection Pack' is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While they offer comfort and support for walking, they are not optimized for high-impact running activities.

How do I clean the 'Protection Pack' layered design?

Use a soft brush to clean dust from layered areas. For stains, a damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized leather/suede cleaner (depending on the material of the layer) can be used carefully. Avoid soaking the shoe.

Is the 'Castlerock' grey color prone to staining?

The grey color can show dirt, like most light-colored footwear. Regular cleaning and the use of a protective spray can help minimize staining and make cleaning easier.

What makes the 'Protection Pack' series unique?

The 'Protection Pack' series is characterized by its unique deconstructed and layered aesthetic, often featuring exposed foam elements and a rugged, utilitarian design, offering a distinct visual style.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not fully waterproof. They can handle light rain, but prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended. Using a water-repellent spray can enhance their resistance.

What is the main difference between this and other 1906 models?

The 'Protection Pack' distinguishes itself through its unique design elements and often uses slightly different material applications compared to standard 1906 models, focusing on a more robust and layered aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct UK size. If still tight, wear them for short periods initially to break them in, or consider using thicker socks for a slightly looser fit.

Scuffs or marks on the leather

Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for your shoe's leather type. A leather care kit can be beneficial.

Reduced grip or slippery sole

Check the sole for embedded debris that might be causing slipperiness. If the sole material is worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.

Discoloration of the grey material

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean gently as per care instructions and use a protectant spray.

  • Versatile grey color complements many outfits.
  • Good traction and slip resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: The unisex, low-top design makes the 1906D highly compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits. They pair well with denim, trousers, shorts, and athleisure wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Suede/Mesh Areas: If your specific model includes suede or mesh, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains on suede, a suede eraser can be effective.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources if they become wet.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to help guard against water and stains, especially for the leather components.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
