FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by running aesthetics, the 1954R is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual everyday wear, not high-intensity athletic training.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause the suede to shrink, discolor, or lose its texture. Always clean by hand using appropriate tools.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray to provide a layer of protection against light moisture.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 1954R generally fits true to standard UK adult sizing.
How do I maintain the suede material?
Regularly brush the suede with a dedicated brush to keep the fibers lifted and free of dirt.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a dry, stiff-bristled suede brush to gently lift and remove the debris.
Foot discomfort during long wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to balance support and pressure, and check that the size is appropriate for your foot width.
Trainer looks faded after extended use
Utilize a suede re-napping brush to restore the texture and appearance of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 1954R trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, as the fit is designed to be true to form.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, use a suede-safe cleaner or eraser. Do not machine wash, as this will damage the suede fibers and adhesive.
- Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier against the elements.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather drying.
