FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 1906D offers cushioning and support, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers with a focus on durability and style rather than high-performance athletic running.

How do I clean the water-resistant Cordura material?

You can wipe the Cordura sections with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

What does 'deconstructed design' mean for these trainers?

It refers to a design aesthetic that intentionally shows the layers and construction of the shoe, often with raw edges and a layered appearance, inspired by the product information for this specific model.

Is the 'Protection Pack' designation related to specific protective features?

Yes, the 'Protection Pack' designation indicates the use of more robust, water-resistant materials like Cordura and ripstop, offering a degree of protection against the elements.

What is the purpose of the Stability Web arch support?

The Stability Web technology is integrated into the midsole to provide enhanced arch support and promote a more stable stride, reducing pronation.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

Yes, thanks to the water-resistant Cordura and ripstop materials, these trainers offer a good level of protection against light rain and moisture.

What is ACTEVA LITE cushioning?

ACTEVA LITE is a lightweight foam cushioning technology used by New Balance that provides comfort and support without adding excessive weight to the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Suede appearance becoming matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the texture. For stains, consult a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid excessive moisture.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

Ensure the N-ergy outsole is clean and free from debris. While the outsole offers good grip, extreme wet conditions may still require caution.

General wear and tear on layered sections

The deconstructed design inherently features layered elements. For significant fraying or separation, consider professional shoe repair.

Discomfort during wear

Verify the correct size is being worn. Ensure laces are adjusted appropriately for a secure yet comfortable fit. Break-in period may be needed for new shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The 1906D Protection Pack is designed as a versatile trainer suitable for adult men and women. They pair well with a range of casual wear, including jeans, joggers, and shorts. While not a technical performance shoe for specific sports, their robust construction makes them compatible with daily activities in urban environments and light outdoor use.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Suede: For the hairy suede sections, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and maintain texture. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be required. Avoid over-wetting the suede.
  2. Water-Resistant Materials: Wipe down the Cordura and ripstop sections with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Allow to air dry naturally.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean the midsole and outsole with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
