FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 1954R typically follows standard sizing conventions; however, if you have wider feet, you may consider trying a half-size up to account for the structure of the suede upper.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash suede shoes, as it can ruin the material and compromise the structural integrity of the midsole.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
How do I maintain the grey color?
Keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use to prevent color fading and use protective sprays regularly.
Are these suitable for hiking?
These are designed as lifestyle trainers and do not feature the tread or stability required for technical hiking or rough off-road terrain.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a dry, clean suede brush to gently lift the dirt in the direction of the grain.
Midsole looks dusty
Wipe the rubberized ABZORB midsole with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then buff dry with a microfiber towel.
Water spots on the suede
Blot gently with a clean cloth to absorb excess moisture, then let it dry naturally before brushing the area to restore texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before wearing your 1954R trainers for the first time, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray to create a protective barrier. When cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Instead, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and revitalize the nap of the material. For stubborn spots, use a dedicated suede eraser. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can cause the material to warp or fade.
