Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 1906D Protection Pack Black Leather is designed for adults seeking a stylish and comfortable retro-inspired sneaker. Its key benefit lies in its unique, textured appearance created by distressed leather and suede overlays. A potential caveat is the distressed nature of the materials, which may be perceived as wear by some, though it's an intentional design element.

FAQs

What does 'Protection Pack' refer to in the name?

The 'Protection Pack' designation refers to a design aesthetic characterized by distressed, layered overlays that give the sneaker a unique, well-worn appearance.

Are these suitable for running?

While they offer comfort and cushioning, the New Balance 1906D is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear and casual activities, not for high-performance running.

How should I clean the distressed leather and suede?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather and suede, testing on an inconspicuous area first. A suede eraser can help with scuffs on suede.

What is the main material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of a black mesh base layer with distressed leather and suede overlays.

What does NERGY branding signify?

NERGY branding on the midsole indicates the use of New Balance's energy-returning foam technology, designed to provide responsive cushioning.

How do I find my correct size?

Refer to New Balance's official sizing chart and measure your foot length. This guide lists the shoe in UK sizing (e.g., UK 5.5).

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, it is not recommended to wear them in heavy rain. Treat the leather and suede with a waterproofing spray for added protection, but avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Troubleshooting

Laces becoming untied frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.

Discomfort or rubbing

Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Check if the sizing is correct.

Suede texture becoming matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. Brush gently in one direction.

Leather creases excessively

This is a natural part of leather wear. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These sneakers are designed for adult males and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They are suitable for walking and everyday activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Materials: Leather and suede overlays should be treated with appropriate protectant sprays to prevent stains and water damage. Suede should be brushed regularly to maintain its texture.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect from dust and damage.
