FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by running aesthetics, the 1954R is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a dry suede brush to remove surface debris. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede eraser.
Is the sizing true to size?
Yes, they generally run true to size, though personal preference for fit can vary.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing will damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the 1954R is designed as a unisex model suitable for all.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede upper
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift dirt. Do not use standard detergent or water.
Creasing near the toe box
This is normal with leather and suede materials; using cedar shoe trees when not worn can help maintain shape.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure a double knot is used or replace them with slightly textured laces for better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 1954R trainers last, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit; for those who prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider half a size up, though they generally fit true to size.
- Protection: Apply a suede-safe water repellent spray before initial wear to protect against light splashes.
