New Balance 1906R Protection Pack - Black Leather - 9.5

The 'Protection Pack' designation refers to a specific design aesthetic characterized by layered, often distressed-looking overlays, providing a unique visual and textural appeal.

While the leather offers some water resistance, the mesh components and overall construction are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.

The distressed look is part of the design. While cleaning is recommended, avoid over-conditioning or polishing the distressed areas too vigorously, as this could alter the intended aesthetic.

NERGY is New Balance's midsole technology designed to provide responsive cushioning and energy return, enhancing comfort and support during wear.

These sneakers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact activities like serious running.

Refer to the New Balance size chart for accurate conversions. Generally, UK sizing runs differently than US or EU sizing. Ensure your foot length is measured accurately.

The 1906R model is available in various colorways and iterations. Check the New Balance website or authorized retailers for the latest options.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and insole. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it firmly. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Use a leather conditioner on the leather parts and a suede brush/eraser for the suede. Ensure you are using appropriate cleaning products for each material.

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. Try re-lacing the shoe using a different pattern or consider replacing the laces with a pair that offers better grip.

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to break them in. Check that socks are appropriate for athletic footwear.
