Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 204L, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth immediately after use. If the leather gets wet, air dry it naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. For styling, these shoes are highly compatible with slim-fit jeans, joggers, or casual trousers. Ensure you check the sizing carefully, as leather can feel slightly stiff initially and will naturally mold to your foot shape over the first few wears.
