FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 204L trainers are inspired by running shoe aesthetics but are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for intense running or athletic training.
How do I clean the white and pink materials?
For general cleaning, use a soft brush or a damp cloth. For tougher stains on leather, a mild leather cleaner is recommended. For the mesh, a gentle soap and water solution can be used. Always air dry.
What is the primary material of the trainers?
The trainers feature a blend of leather for structure and synthetic mesh for breathability, inspired by '00s tech aesthetics.
Are these trainers available in men's or women's specific fits?
No, these are designed as unisex trainers, meaning they are intended for all genders and are available in standard UK adult sizing.
How does the sizing typically run?
These trainers generally follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to refer to New Balance's sizing chart for the most accurate fit, as individual foot shapes can vary.
Can I wear these for a full day of walking?
Yes, the low-profile design and comfortable materials make them suitable for extended periods of walking and daily activities.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure you are trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear. If still uncomfortable, consider the range of available sizes, as foot shapes vary.
Material scuffing
For minor scuffs on leather, try a leather eraser or a dedicated leather cleaner. For mesh areas, use a damp cloth and mild soap.
Discoloration on white areas
Use a non-gel white toothpaste or a specialized shoe cleaner for white materials. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic-inspired outfits.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains on the leather, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid machine washing.
