FAQs

What makes the 'Protection Pack' design unique?

The 'Protection Pack' features a distinctive deconstructed aesthetic with jagged, rough-cut overlays and layered materials, giving it a unique, rugged appearance.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they feature New Balance's ABZORB cushioning for comfort, the 1906D Protection Pack is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker, not for high-performance running.

How should I clean the suede parts?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, applying it gently and testing first.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and suede, with a plastic heel cage for added support.

What does the 'Ndurance' on the outsole mean?

Ndurance refers to New Balance's durable rubber outsole compound, designed to provide enhanced traction and resistance to wear.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the shoes offer some protection, the suede materials are not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is recommended to protect them with a suitable waterproofing spray for best results in damp conditions.

What is the primary benefit of the plastic heel cage?

The plastic heel cage is designed to provide structural support and stability to the heel, helping to lock the foot in place and enhance comfort during wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.

Shoes feel uncomfortable or tight

Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. If they are new, break them in gradually with short periods of wear.

Laces are difficult to tie or come undone

Check if the laces are frayed or worn. Consider replacing them with new, longer, or differently textured laces that hold knots better.

Sole feels stiff

New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the sole to flex naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

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

Compatibility:

The New Balance 1906D Protection Pack is designed as a versatile lifestyle shoe. It is compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and athletic wear. It is not designed for specific sports activities that require specialized footwear.

Care:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, applying sparingly and testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Cleaning Leather/Synthetic: Wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for footwear, especially for the suede components, to help protect against the elements.
  • Drying: If shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
