FAQs

What makes the 'Protection Pack' series unique?

The 'Protection Pack' series is characterized by its deconstructed aesthetic, featuring deliberately rough-cut edges on the suede overlays and a distinct layered appearance, giving them a unique, avant-garde look.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While designed for comfort, these trainers are primarily intended for casual wear and lifestyle use, not high-impact athletic activities like running.

How should I care for the suede material?

Suede requires specific care. Use a suede brush for general cleaning and a suede cleaner for stains. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

What is the plastic heel cage for?

The plastic heel cage offers additional support and stability to the heel of the shoe, contributing to overall comfort during wear.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather as it can damage the material and affect its appearance. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.

What size should I order?

Refer to the New Balance sizing guide and compare it with your foot measurements. For this specific model (UK 7.5), ensure your foot measurement corresponds to this size for a comfortable fit.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

While this guide focuses on the grey variant, the 1906 Protection Pack series may be available in other colorways depending on the release.

Troubleshooting

Suede becoming dirty or stained

Gently brush with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a lightly damp cloth, following product instructions. Always allow to air dry.

Loss of shape over time

Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape. Store them properly when not being worn.

Plastic heel cage appears scuffed

Minor scuffs on the plastic heel cage can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, replacement is generally not feasible, and the aesthetic is part of the design.

Discomfort after initial wear

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. If discomfort persists, check lacing and sock choice.
