FAQs

What makes the "Protection Pack" design unique?

The "Protection Pack" is characterized by a deconstructed aesthetic, featuring intentionally frayed or worn edges on the leather overlays, giving the shoe a deliberately distressed and unique appearance.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the New Balance 1906D offers good cushioning and support, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

What is the purpose of the Stability Web?

The Stability Web is integrated into the N-ergy outsole to provide enhanced arch support and torsional stability, helping to prevent excessive foot motion and improve overall comfort.

How do I maintain the Silver Metallic finish?

The Silver Metallic finish should be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the metallic coating. Regular, gentle cleaning will help preserve its appearance.

What is the difference between ABZORB and ABZORB SBS cushioning?

ABZORB is a general cushioning technology that absorbs impact. ABZORB SBS (Shell-Based System) provides enhanced heel cushioning and shock absorption, specifically targeting the heel area for added comfort and support.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed with a breathable mesh base and features synthetic leather overlays that have a deconstructed, worn edge finish.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off.

Ensure you are comparing against the correct sizing chart (UK sizing in this case). If the fit is still not right, consider trying a half-size up or down, or seeking advice from a footwear specialist.

The 'worn' look appears too pronounced or uneven.

The distressed aesthetic is a deliberate design feature of the 'Protection Pack' series. If the variation is concerning, check other available pairs or consider if this specific design aesthetic aligns with your preferences.

Discomfort after prolonged wear.

Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit, not too tight or too loose. Break the shoes in gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. If persistent discomfort occurs, check for any internal seams or defects.

Color transfer from the shoe to socks or surfaces.

New dye and materials may experience some color transfer initially. This is common with darker or vibrant footwear. Use dark-colored socks initially and avoid contact with light-colored upholstery or surfaces until the shoes have been worn a few times.
