FAQs
Is the New Balance 204V true to size?
Yes, the 204V generally fits true to standard adult sizing, though individuals with wider feet may prefer to go up half a size.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the shoe. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
Are these suitable for high-intensity gym workouts?
While durable, the 204V is designed as a lifestyle and walking shoe rather than a technical performance trainer for heavy weightlifting or intense cardio.
What is the best way to clean the grey leather?
Use a damp, lint-free cloth and a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for lifestyle footwear.
Does the shoe provide enough arch support?
The shoe provides moderate, standard arch support suitable for daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuffs or marks
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of leather cleaner to gently buff the affected area.
Footbed feels less comfortable over time
Consider replacing the original insole with a third-party orthotic insert if you require additional arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 204V sneakers last, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the grey leather. For maintenance, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the surface. Because these shoes utilize leather, avoid soaking them in water. If the shoes become damp, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. We recommend using a leather-safe conditioner periodically to prevent the material from cracking over time.
