FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 1906D Protection Pack is designed to fit true to size for most adults.
Can I use these for intense running?
While based on a technical 1906 platform, this 'Protection Pack' version is categorized as a lifestyle/casual trainer and is best suited for daily wear rather than high-performance athletic training.
How do I clean the distressed leather?
Use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth to wipe down the leather. Avoid aggressive scrubbing to preserve the intended distressed finish.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather provides more protection than mesh materials, but it is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective leather spray if you anticipate walking in light rain.
What is the primary difference between the 1906D and 1906R?
The 1906D Protection Pack is distinguished by its unique, deconstructed layered aesthetics, whereas the 1906R models often feature more traditional, streamlined overlays.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Natural leather will develop character creases. Using cedar shoe trees immediately after taking them off will help maintain the shape and minimize deep-set creases.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before sliding your foot in; the layered design of the Protection Pack can restrict the entry point if the laces are pulled tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 1906D trainers maintain their condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers fit true to size. Order your standard UK size for the best experience.
- Break-in Period: Like most premium leather footwear, these may require a few wears to soften around the flex points of your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For the leather components, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that could strip the finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain shape, consider using shoe trees when not in use.
