FAQs

What is the 'Protection Pack' aesthetic?

The 'Protection Pack' is a design concept by New Balance that features distressed or deconstructed-looking overlays on the sneaker, giving it a unique, pre-worn, and layered appearance.

Are these sneakers good for running?

While the 1906D features advanced cushioning (ABZORB, N-ergy), it's primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. For serious or specialized running, consider shoes engineered specifically for those activities.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed with a breathable mesh base and features synthetic leather overlays with a distressed finish.

How do I clean the distressed leather overlays?

Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe them. For tougher spots, a soft brush with a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is the purpose of the Stability Web?

The Stability Web is integrated into the outsole to provide enhanced arch support and torsional stability, helping to prevent the shoe from twisting excessively and offering a more stable stride.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

The N-ergy outsole offers good grip, but the mesh and leather upper are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect the materials.

What year was this specific 'Protection Pack' model released?

The New Balance 1906D Protection Pack 'Silver Metallic' was released on November 22, 2023.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Try wearing them with the type of socks you typically use. If the issue persists and is within the return period, consider exchanging for a different size based on the size chart.

Discomfort in the arch area

Ensure the laces are tied properly to utilize the Stability Web. If discomfort continues, consider adding an aftermarket insole designed for arch support.

Exterior material shows premature wear

The 'Protection Pack' aesthetic includes distressed elements. For genuine wear and tear, ensure proper cleaning and storage. Avoid excessive abrasion.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a new pair of standard shoelaces of a similar length and material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

As a footwear product, the New Balance 1906D Protection Pack requires no setup. Simply lace them up and wear.

Compatibility:

These sneakers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They are not intended for specific athletic performance in specialized sports beyond general training or running.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and leather overlays with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the midsole and outsole. Remove any mud or debris promptly.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material integrity. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape.
