FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 1906D Protection Pack is designed for comfort and support during daily wear and light activities. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the necessary performance features for intense running.
How do I clean the distressed leather?
For distressed leather, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. A slightly damp cloth can be used for light cleaning, but avoid soaking or using harsh cleaning agents that could alter the distressed appearance.
What does 'Protection Pack' refer to?
The 'Protection Pack' designation typically refers to a specific design aesthetic that includes reinforced overlays and a slightly ruggedized appearance, offering both style and a sense of durability.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Based on general feedback for New Balance trainers, these are often reported to fit true to size. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
Yes, the adjustable lace closure allows for some flexibility. If your orthotics are slim, they may fit inside. However, removing the existing insole might be necessary depending on the size and thickness of your orthotics.
What is the main benefit of the ABZORB technology?
ABZORB technology is designed to absorb impact forces, providing superior cushioning and helping to reduce the shock transmitted to your feet and legs, thereby enhancing comfort during wear.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. The mesh and leather upper offer breathability but will allow water to penetrate in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure laces are tied using a secure knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.
Discomfort in the arch area
Verify the lacing is adjusted correctly for optimal arch support. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles that offer targeted arch support.
Material scuffing or damage
The distressed leather is part of the design, but avoid excessive abrasion. For minor scuffs on non-distressed leather, a leather conditioner may help.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean. Some synthetic materials can be less grippy on polished or wet surfaces. Use caution in such conditions.
