FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 204L typically follows standard athletic sizing; however, if you have wider feet, you may consider a half-size increase.
How do I clean the Mushroom brown material?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit that is safe for suede or high-quality fabric and always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
Are these suitable for running?
The 204L is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer rather than a high-performance running shoe.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While durable, the materials can be sensitive to moisture. We recommend using a high-quality protective spray to improve water resistance.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the brown colour from fading over time.
Are these trainers unisex?
This specific model is designed for men, but the sizing and aesthetic can be adapted for anyone who fits the equivalent conversion scale.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs or dirt on the surface
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently buff out surface debris or dirt.
Creasing in the toe box area
Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the material retain its shape and reduce deep set-in creases.
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knotting the laces or replacing them with textured cotton laces can increase friction and prevent slippage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 204L trainers stay in peak condition, perform a quick check of the laces and tongue alignment before your first wear to ensure a secure fit. Compatibility is high, as the neutral brown tone acts as a bridge between earth tones and monochrome outfits. For care, it is highly recommended to apply a water-repellent spray before the first use. If the shoes become dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesives and material structure; instead, spot clean with a gentle foam cleaner specifically designed for suede or fabric footwear.
