FAQs
Is the New Balance 204L suitable for running?
While it draws inspiration from running aesthetics, it is categorized as a lifestyle shoe and is not recommended for dedicated long-distance running or gym training.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Like most high-quality leather footwear, the material will soften and conform to your foot shape after a short break-in period.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They feature a leather upper which offers some natural protection against light moisture, but they are not waterproof.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, as they provide a standard fit.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the standard insoles are designed to be removable if you need to insert custom orthotics or replace them.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help them maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.
Surface scuff marks
Use a specialized leather eraser or a small amount of leather conditioner on a soft cloth to gently buff out the mark.
Squeaking sound while walking
Ensure the insole is properly seated inside the shoe or sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder beneath the insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 204L shoes remain in top condition, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove surface dirt and dust. Because the exterior is leather, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. For deeper cleaning, utilize a leather-specific cleaner or conditioner to maintain the material's suppleness and prevent cracking. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the colors over time.
