FAQs
Are the New Balance 1954R trainers waterproof?
No, the suede upper is porous and can be damaged by water. It is not waterproof and should be protected from harsh weather.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
We do not recommend machine washing, as the water and agitation can damage the suede texture and compromise the shoe's adhesives.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While inspired by 2000s running aesthetics, these are categorized as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for walking and casual daily wear.
How do I determine my size?
The New Balance 1954R uses standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size you wear in most other casual sneakers.
Is the sole removable?
Yes, the internal insole is removable, which allows for easier cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotic supports.
Troubleshooting
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoe to dry completely, then use a suede eraser to gently rub away the affected area.
Build-up of surface dust
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently buff the suede in a circular motion to lift debris.
Insole discomfort
If you require extra arch support, the factory insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature suede uppers, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep mud to prevent permanent marking. To keep them looking fresh, we recommend using a suede-specific brush to remove loose dirt after each use. If the shoes become wet, air dry them at room temperature away from direct heat sources, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink. Ensure you select your standard UK sizing for the best fit, as the unisex construction follows traditional New Balance sizing standards. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
