FAQs
Is the New Balance 204V waterproof?

Are these shoes suitable for running?

How do I clean my blue suede shoes?
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry eraser specifically designed for suede to treat light dirt.
Is this a unisex model?

Does the suede material stretch over time?

Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on suede
Use a soft suede brush to gently lift dirt in the direction of the grain.
Water spots on the material
Let the shoes air dry naturally in a shaded, cool area away from direct heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK shoe size, as the 204V features a snug, low-profile fit. To maintain the integrity of the suede upper, avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or deep mud, as these elements can permanently stain or degrade the material. If the shoes become lightly soiled, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, utilize a dedicated suede cleaning kit and avoid soaking the shoes in water or using harsh household detergents.
