FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 204L is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for walking and casual daily use rather than high-performance running.
How do I determine my correct size?
These trainers use standard UK sizing. We recommend checking your current comfortable trainers for size parity or measuring your foot for the best fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather components and adhesives. Always hand-clean with a soft cloth.
Are these trainers waterproof?
They feature leather and mesh, which are not inherently waterproof. They will resist light splashes, but should not be submerged.
What is the primary material used?
The upper consists of premium leather overlays combined with durable black mesh panels.
Do the shoes have high visibility features?
Yes, they include subtle reflective trim that catches light for better visibility in dim conditions.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the patent leather
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure of the toe box and reduce deep creases.
Dirt stuck in the mesh
Use a soft brush or a specialized sneaker cleaning brush to gently lift debris from the mesh weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your New Balance 204L trainers will significantly extend their lifespan.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt from the mesh and leather with a soft-bristled brush or dry cloth. For the patent leather sections, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry immediately to avoid water spotting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Fit: Ensure you verify your UK sizing (e.g., 7.5 UK) before selection, as fit can vary slightly depending on sock thickness.
