FAQs
Are the New Balance 204L shoes waterproof?
No, they are made of leather and are not inherently waterproof. Using a leather protector spray can provide limited water resistance.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to UK adult sizing, but the slim silhouette may feel snug for those with wider feet.
Can I remove the insoles?
The insoles are typically designed to be standard; however, if they are not glued down, you can replace them with your own orthotics.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the 204L series is designed as a unisex shoe, making it suitable for all genders.
What is the best way to clean white leather shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with a specialized leather cleaner for tougher stains.
Can I use these for running?
No, the 204L is designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for athletic running or high-impact sports.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff after initial wear
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Surface scuffs appearing on the white leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth dipped in a mixture of mild soap and water to gently buff out minor scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 204L shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, though if you typically wear thick socks, you might consider sizing up by a half-step due to the slim structure.
- Cleaning: Because the upper is made of leather, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For dirt, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to protect against weather elements if you plan to wear them in wet conditions.
