FAQs

What is the primary material of the New Balance 1906D Protection Pack?

The primary materials are leather and mesh, with distressed leather and suede overlays.

Is this shoe suitable for running or athletic performance?

While it offers good cushioning, the 1906D Protection Pack is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle use, not high-intensity athletic activities.

How do I clean the distressed leather parts?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher marks, a specialized leather cleaner is recommended. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Does the N Lock lacing system offer adjustable support?

Yes, the N Lock system is designed to provide a secure and adaptable fit that can be adjusted to the wearer's preference.

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

The 'Protection Pack' typically refers to a design aesthetic that includes protective overlays and a more robust, often textured or layered, construction, giving the shoe a distinct visual character.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes are made with leather and mesh, which offer some resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What sizes are available?

This guide is for the UK size 4 variant. Other sizes may be available for different product listings.

Troubleshooting

Stiff Laces

If the N Lock lacing system feels stiff, ensure the laces are threaded correctly and try gently working them back and forth.

Leather Creasing

Creasing is natural for leather. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Discoloration on Distressed Areas

The distressed look is intentional. If you notice unexpected discoloration, clean gently with a leather cleaner suitable for black leather. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Squeaking Noise

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or graphite lubricant between the tongue and laces, or where the sole meets the upper.
