FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, they are not classified as waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction of these trainers.
Are these suitable for gym use?
These are casual lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for high-impact training or specialized gym activities.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing; it is recommended to measure your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest.
Do these shoes require breaking in?
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period to conform to the unique shape of your foot, usually taking a few days of regular wear.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after heavy use
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.
Creasing appears near the toe box
This is normal for leather footwear; use shoe trees when not worn to minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your New Balance 204L trainers, ensure you check the size for a proper fit—these utilize standard UK sizing. To maintain the integrity of the leather:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft, dry cloth after each wear.
- Stain Removal: Use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly to a damp cloth for deeper cleaning.
- Drying: Always let your shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees if you want to maintain the original shape over time.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent dryness.
