New Balance 204V Trainers - Grey - 7

No, the shoes are made from leather and are not waterproof. We recommend applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather to provide light protection against spills.

Yes, the 204V is designed as a unisex model, fitting a wide range of adult foot shapes.

While the 204V takes inspiration from running history, it is primarily a lifestyle trainer. It is not designed for heavy, high-intensity running workouts.

The 204V follows standard UK adult sizing. If you usually wear a specific size in other New Balance lifestyle trainers, we recommend choosing that same size.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading over time.

Use a leather-safe eraser or a damp cloth with a mild leather conditioner to gently buff out surface scuffs.

Leather will naturally stretch and mold to the shape of your foot over time. Wear them for short periods at home to break them in.

The 204V features a standard lacing system; ensure you are using a double knot or a secure reef knot if the laces are sliding.
