FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

The New Balance 1906D Protection Pack features water-resistant Cordura and a ripstop base, offering protection against light moisture and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

What is the primary benefit of the 'Protection Pack' design?

The 'Protection Pack' design emphasizes durability and resilience, using robust materials like Cordura and ripstop, inspired by rugged natural elements to withstand various conditions.

How do I clean the hairy suede parts?

Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used cautiously, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Is the arch support suitable for flat feet?

The trainers feature Stability Web arch support, which provides moderate support. Individuals with very specific arch needs or conditions might consider using custom insoles for personalized comfort and support.

What makes the ACTEVA LITE midsole special?

ACTEVA LITE is a lightweight, resilient foam cushioning used by New Balance that provides excellent support and durability without adding significant weight to the shoe.

Can these trainers be used for running?

While they offer good cushioning and shock absorption suitable for active use, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers with durable elements. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

What does MPN: M1906DSB refer to?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. M1906DSB is the unique product code for this specific variant of the New Balance 1906D Protection Pack trainers.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for suede and leather.

Laces becoming worn

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The cushioning will naturally adapt to your foot. If significant degradation occurs, it may indicate heavy wear; consider replacement if comfort is severely impacted.

Outsole grip feels reduced on wet surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. While designed for traction, extreme wet conditions can still reduce grip on certain surfaces. Tread wear can also impact grip.

Care Instructions:

  • Suede & Uppers: Gently brush suede areas with a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap on the textile and leather sections, avoiding excessive water on the suede.

  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
