FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the 1954R typically fits true to standard UK adult sizing; if you prefer a wider fit for thicker socks, some users recommend going up by a half size.
Can I use these for marathon running?
No, while they draw design inspiration from running shoes, the 1954R is intended for lifestyle and casual use, not for high-mileage athletic training.
How do I keep the black suede looking fresh?
Regular brushing with a suede brush helps maintain the nap and appearance; avoid exposure to excessive moisture.
What is the N-lock system?
The N-lock is a structural lacing feature that anchors the side panels of the shoe to the midfoot, providing a more secure and stable lockdown than standard eyelets.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the rubber outsole is designed for standard urban use and does not mark typical indoor flooring.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose throughout the day
Ensure the N-lock system is pulled evenly from the bottom eyelets upward to achieve a consistent tension across the midfoot.
Suede appears dirty or discolored
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft suede brush to gently lift dirt; avoid soaking the suede in water.
Reduced comfort or shock absorption
Check the condition of the inner sockliner; if it has compressed significantly, consider replacing it with an aftermarket orthotic insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, lace the N-lock system firmly but not so tightly that it restricts circulation. Given the suede construction, it is recommended to treat the shoes with a protective suede water-repellent spray before first use to prevent staining. When cleaning, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and a damp cloth with mild soap for the mesh and rubber areas. Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
