FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 204L is a lifestyle trainer intended for casual daily use, not for high-intensity running or athletic performance.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the structural adhesive of the shoe.
What gender are these shoes for?
The New Balance 204L is a unisex model designed to fit adult feet across all genders.
Does the leather require a protector spray?
While not strictly necessary, using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather can help protect the beige finish from elements.
Are there other colorways available?
Yes, the 204L series is available in several colors including beige and pink, depending on the specific model variant.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuff marks
Use a soft brush to remove dirt, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner to buff out light scuffs.
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather has natural give; wear them for short periods indoors to allow the material to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Difficulty cleaning beige leather
Use a mild leather-safe cleaner applied to a cloth rather than applying water directly to the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the upper is crafted from leather, proper maintenance is required to keep the beige finish looking pristine. Avoid submerging these shoes in water. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth or a specialized leather cleaner to gently wipe away debris. For scuffs, use a light-colored leather conditioner. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discoloring. These trainers are highly compatible with casual attire, including slim-fit denim, chinos, or athleisure wear.
