FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather upper offers some protection against light moisture, these are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Can I use these for running?
These trainers are designed for casual, everyday wear and do not feature the advanced cushioning or motion control technology required for long-distance running.
How should I clean the leather?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather-specific conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
Do these shoes come in half sizes?
Yes, the New Balance 204L series is available in a variety of sizes, including half-size options for a more precise fit.
Is the design unisex?
Yes, the 204L series is suitable for both men and women, provided you select the correct size based on your foot measurements.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel too tight even in my usual size.
Check the European size conversion chart provided on the brand's website, as sizing can vary slightly between manufacturers.
Scuff marks on the leather surface.
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, dry cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs.
Creasing in the toe box area.
This is a natural occurrence with genuine leather; inserting shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the 204L trainers utilize European sizing, it is highly recommended to check your measurement against the official New Balance size chart rather than relying solely on your standard UK size. When caring for your leather trainers, avoid machine washing to maintain the integrity of the material. Instead, wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or shrink.
