FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?

Do these shoes come in half sizes?
Yes, the 204L range includes various half-size options to help you achieve a precise fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

What materials are used for the upper?

Are they unisex?

How do I maintain the shape of the shoes?
Using a shoe tree when you are not wearing them helps the trainers maintain their original silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Outer material looks dull after long-term wear
Use a soft brush to remove dirt, then apply a specialized leather or synthetic-safe conditioner to restore the finish.
Laces becoming frayed or difficult to tighten
Replace with standard length athletic laces that match the gauge of the original pair.
Minor scuffs on the leather upper
Gently buff the affected area with a matching color cream or a damp soft sponge to blend the mark.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 204L trainers maintain their condition, perform a routine inspection of the laces and soles to check for wear. For sizing, these trainers are available in various UK adult sizes; always confirm your fit against the specific size guide before purchase. For cleaning, remove surface dust with a dry brush and spot clean any leather or synthetic areas with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as excessive heat and moisture can compromise the adhesive bonds and material integrity.
