New Balance 204V Trainers - Grey - Blue - 5

No, the 204V is designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual, everyday wear rather than a high-performance athletic running shoe.

While the leather upper provides some protection against light moisture, these shoes are not waterproof and should be dried naturally if they become wet.

Yes, it generally fits true to standard New Balance sizing, but it is recommended to use the sizing guide provided on the product page for your specific UK size.

The 204V features a removable insole, allowing you to swap in your own custom orthotics if additional arch support is needed.

Keep the shoes clean and avoid abrasive cleaners. Using a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather can help preserve the colors.

Leather creasing is normal during wear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe retain its shape and minimize excessive creasing.

Leather requires a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to soften the material gradually.

Gently wipe with a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach which can damage the finish.
