Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 1906D Refined Future trainers are designed for adult males seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort. Their key benefit lies in superior shock absorption and arch support, making them ideal for daily wear. A potential caveat is that the 'Protection Pack' aesthetic, with its deconstructed edges, might not suit everyone's taste. These trainers feature an ABZORB midsole, N-ergy outsole with Stability Web, and ABZORB SBS heel cushioning, inspired by early 2000s running shoes and updated with a contemporary 'Protection Pack' design.

FAQs
What makes the 'Refined Future' or 'Protection Pack' design unique?
This design is inspired by early 2000s running shoes and features a deconstructed aesthetic, characterized by deliberately worn or frayed edges on the synthetic leather overlays, offering a distinct, 'protected' look.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
While they offer excellent cushioning and support for daily wear, the New Balance 1906D Refined Future is primarily designed as a lifestyle or casual trainer, not for high-impact athletic activities or competitive running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing provided (UK 9 in this instance). It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult New Balance's official size chart for accurate foot measurements. Ensure a snug but not constricting fit.
Can the worn edges be repaired if they fray too much?
The frayed edges are an intentional design element. While minor fraying is normal, significant unraveling is not typically repairable as it's part of the shoe's aesthetic. Avoid snagging these areas.
What is the primary benefit of the N-ergy outsole?
The N-ergy outsole is engineered to provide superior shock absorption, helping to dissipate impact forces and contribute to a more comfortable and stable stride.
Is the ABZORB SBS heel cushioning noticeable?
Yes, the ABZORB SBS heel cushioning is designed to provide additional stability and comfort specifically in the heel area, enhancing the overall feel of the shoe during wear.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic leather overlays, featuring the characteristic deconstructed edges of the 'Protection Pack' series.
Troubleshooting
Uneven wear on the sole
Ensure proper lacing for balanced foot support. Rotate use with other footwear to reduce continuous stress on specific sole areas.
Reduced cushioning over time
This is a normal wear indicator. Consider cleaning the midsole and outsole as per care instructions. For significantly degraded cushioning, it may be time to consider a replacement.
Discomfort in the arch area
Double-check the lace tension to ensure the Stability Web is effectively supporting the arch. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles for additional support, ensuring they are compatible with the shoe's structure.
Fraying on 'Protection Pack' edges
The deconstructed edges are a design feature. Minor fraying is expected. Avoid pulling or snagging these edges to prevent further unraveling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These are ready-to-wear footwear. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tightness using the adjustable lace closure for a secure and comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Designed for adult male feet, suitable for UK size 9. These trainers are versatile for various casual outfits.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic leather surfaces with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials and the distinctive 'worn' finish.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean the foam midsole and rubber outsole with a soft brush or cloth. Remove any embedded dirt or debris.
- Laces: If laces become dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried.
- Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the shoe's structure and materials.
