FAQs
What materials are these trainers made of?
The trainers feature a combination of leather, synthetic, and textile mesh for the upper, with a synthetic sole and a gum rubber outsole.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 204L trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for intense running or athletic training.
How do I choose the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart. If possible, try them on in-store to ensure a comfortable fit, as sizing can vary slightly.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and adhesives. Hand-cleaning as per the care instructions is the preferred method.
What is the main color of these trainers?
The main color is burgundy, with secondary pink accents.
Do these trainers come in other colors or materials?
While this specific guide focuses on the burgundy and pink leather/mesh version, New Balance often releases similar styles in different colorways and material combinations (e.g., suede options). Please check other product listings for variations.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and re-inserting it, ensuring it sits flat. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can also help.
Laces becoming worn or frayed
Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid premature wear.
Discoloration on suede areas
If discoloration is due to water, allow the shoes to dry completely, then use a suede brush. For stubborn marks, consult a specialist shoe cleaner or a professional cleaning service.

Compatibility: Designed for adult wear, suitable for individuals seeking a blend of style and comfort for casual use. Available in various UK adult sizes.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 204L trainers:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be applied sparingly with a soft cloth.
- Cleaning Leather and Mesh: Wipe down leather and synthetic panels with a slightly damp cloth. For mesh areas, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then rinse with a clean damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can damage the materials.
- Protection: Consider using a protective spray designed for mixed-material footwear to help repel water and stains, especially for the suede components.
