FAQs

What is the 'Protection Pack' series?

The 'Protection Pack' series by New Balance is characterized by its distinctive, layered aesthetic and enhanced durability, often featuring an intentionally deconstructed or over-engineered look.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While New Balance is known for performance footwear, the 1906D 'Protection Pack' is primarily designed for lifestyle and comfort. They offer good support for casual wear but are not intended for high-intensity athletic training.

How do I choose the right size?

These trainers are listed in UK adult sizes. It is recommended to know your UK shoe size for the best fit. Consider trying them on if possible, or refer to New Balance's official size guide for accurate measurements.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the suede can be treated with protector sprays, it is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining. Allow them to dry naturally if they get wet.

What is the primary material used?

The primary upper material for this specific model is suede, with accents that may include other materials typical of sneaker construction.

How do I clean mud or dirt from the suede?

Allow mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a suede brush. For tougher dirt, use a suede eraser or consult a professional cleaner. Avoid using water excessively.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore its texture. Ensure the brush is clean and dry.

Trainer feels too tight

Wear with thin socks initially and allow the shoes to naturally break in. If discomfort persists, consider thicker socks or insoles for a snugger fit, or explore alternative sizing options if available.

Visible water stains on suede

Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, attempt to brush out the stain. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Creasing on the toe box

Creasing is a natural part of wear for most footwear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Care Instructions

To maintain the quality and appearance of your suede trainers:

  1. Suede Brush: Regularly use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap of the material. Brush in one direction for best results.
  2. Protection Spray: Apply a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Ensure the product is suitable for suede and follow application instructions carefully.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a clean, dry cloth or a specialized suede eraser. Avoid excessive water, which can damage suede.
  4. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
