FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the 204L is designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker and does not have the technical cushioning required for running.
Is the leather water-resistant?
While leather provides some natural protection, these shoes are not waterproof. We recommend a protective spray to improve water repellency.
Does this shoe come in half sizes?
Yes, the 204L is available in various half-size increments to help you find an accurate fit.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives. Always hand-clean using recommended leather care products.
Is the 204L considered unisex?
Yes, this model is designed to be worn by anyone, with sizing adjusted to fit standard UK foot measurements.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its luster
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.
Creasing near the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with genuine leather; using shoe trees when not in use helps maintain shape.
Dirt stuck in the arced overlay lines
Use a clean, dry toothbrush to gently clear debris from the textured areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 204L shoes remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to gently remove loose surface dirt from the leather.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray to repel liquids and stains before the first wear.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading over time.
- Sizing: Ensure you confirm your size using the UK standard sizing provided, as the low-profile cut may feel more snug than bulky athletic shoes.
