FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by running silhouettes, the 204L is designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer, not for high-intensity athletic or long-distance running.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Is the sizing the same for men and women?

The New Balance 204L uses standard unisex sizing. Ensure you check the specific UK size measurements provided to ensure the best fit.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, they are made of leather which offers some resistance to moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.

Do these shoes provide arch support?

They feature standard casual support, but if you require specialized orthotic support, the insoles are typically removable to accommodate your own inserts.

Can I put these in the dryer if they get wet?

No, never place leather trainers in a dryer. The heat will damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction.

Troubleshooting

Stiffness in the shoe during first use

Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Difficulty keeping the surface clean

Apply a water-repellent leather protectant spray before initial use to help repel liquids and surface stains.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design that complements casual and smart-casual wardrobes
  • Durable leather upper provides a premium feel and long-lasting wear
  • Sleek low-profile construction avoids a bulky appearance
  • Familiar, comfortable fit based on proven New Balance design lineage

Cons

  • Leather material may require a brief break-in period
  • Not engineered for heavy-duty sports or long-distance running
  • Grey colorway, while neutral, may show dust more than darker colors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 204L trainers last, keep these care tips in mind:

  1. Sizing: These shoes are unisex; consult the size guide carefully if you are transitioning between gender-specific sizing conventions.
  2. Cleaning: Since the upper is leather, use a soft, dry cloth or a specialized leather cleaner to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the grey dye from fading over time.
  4. Maintenance: Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out after frequent use.
