FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather overlays offer some protection, the mesh uppers are porous, meaning these trainers are not waterproof.
Can I use these for running?
The 204L is designed for casual wear and walking; it does not contain the advanced motion control features required for long-distance running.
What is the best way to clean the reflective trim?
Simply wipe the trim with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing to maintain the reflective properties.
Do these come in different sizes?
Yes, the 204L series is available in a variety of UK sizes ranging from 4 to 10.
Is the material vegan?
No, this model features genuine leather overlays.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
The 204L fits true to standard adult UK sizing; if you typically wear wide-width shoes, consider trying them on with your preferred thickness of socks.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on patent leather
Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or stiff brushes.
Mesh material looks dusty
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt out of the mesh weave without damaging the fibers.
Reduced comfort or support
Check the condition of the inner footbed; replace with aftermarket orthotics if the original cushioning has compressed over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 204L trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential. Since the shoes feature a mix of mesh and patent leather, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive integrity. Instead, clean the mesh sections with a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water, and wipe the patent leather overlays with a soft, damp cloth to remove debris. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking. These shoes are true to size for most users, but ensure you refer to your specific UK size measurement when selecting from the range.
