FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they are inspired by 2000s running styles, they are designed as lifestyle shoes and are not recommended for competitive or long-distance running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush or cleaning block. Avoid liquid cleaners or submerging the shoes in water.
Are the 204V shoes true to size?
Generally, New Balance shoes follow standard sizing. We recommend checking your foot length against the provided UK sizing chart.
Can these be worn in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede can be damaged by water, so it is best to avoid wet weather conditions.

Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or flat
Gently use a soft-bristled suede brush in a circular motion to lift the nap of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 204V sneakers maintain their appearance, apply a suede-specific water repellent spray before the first use. If the shoes become dirty, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dust and debris. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaning eraser. To preserve the shape, store the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, and use shoe trees if storing them for an extended period.
