Yes, these trainers are designed as unisex for adults.

The design is inspired by 2000s running shoe styles, blended with elements from 70s tread patterns and New Balance's heritage.

The 204L provides standard support for casual wear. For individuals requiring significant arch support, consider using custom insoles.

With proper care and depending on the frequency and intensity of wear, these trainers are designed for everyday use. Regular cleaning and avoiding strenuous activities will help prolong their life.

Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight due to newness, wear them for short periods to break them in. Consider using thicker socks for a tighter fit or thinner socks for a looser feel.

Try double-knotting the laces. Ensure the laces are not excessively worn or frayed, as this can affect their ability to stay tied.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if the noise persists and is bothersome.
