FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB technology?

What does 'Protection Pack' signify in the shoe's name?
The 'Protection Pack' series is characterized by a deconstructed aesthetic, featuring layered materials with 'worn' or frayed edges, giving the sneakers a unique, rugged look.

While inspired by running designs and offering good cushioning, the 1906D Protection Pack is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. For serious or performance running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are evenly distributed and pulled securely. For a looser fit, ease the tension on the laces, particularly across the midfoot and toe box.
Slight discomfort or pressure points.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The ABZORB cushioning will mold to your foot over time. Ensure socks are of appropriate thickness.
Mud or dirt on the outsole.
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stubborn grime, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
