New Balance 204L Trainers - Grey/Black - UK 7.5

The New Balance 204L Trainers are designed with a blend of retro running styles for everyday wear and casual comfort. They are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic sports.

They feature a mix of breathable mesh and metallic overlays, combined with premium suede, and are built with a retro-inspired EVA outsole.

For suede, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the suede in water, as this can cause damage.

New Balance typically offers consistent sizing. We recommend checking the official New Balance size guide or trying them on to ensure the best fit for your feet.

Due to the premium suede material, it is generally recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or very wet conditions to prevent staining or damage to the suede. Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray for added protection.

EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate, which is a lightweight, flexible, and cushioned material commonly used in shoe outsoles and midsoles for shock absorption and comfort.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For tougher spots, a specialized suede cleaner can be applied sparingly according to its instructions. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals on suede.

Ensure you have the correct size. Check your lacing technique; sometimes adjusting the tightness or type of lacing can alleviate pressure points. Allow for a short break-in period, as materials like suede may soften slightly with wear.

Gently wipe the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove surface dirt. For more persistent scuffs, a clean, soft eraser can sometimes lift marks from the EVA material.
