Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or small
The New Balance 204L trainers are known to run small. Consider ordering a half size or a full size up from your usual shoe size for a more comfortable fit. If already purchased, try wearing them with thinner socks.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush the suede with a soft brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and eraser, following the product's instructions carefully. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are difficult to secure
Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets evenly. If they continue to slip, consider replacing them with different laces that offer more grip, or tie them using a double knot.
Sole feels stiff
New shoes, especially those with EVA outsoles, may require a short break-in period. Wear the trainers for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your feet.

Care:
- Cleaning Suede: For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and dust from the suede. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner and eraser can be used following product instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can cause staining and damage.
- Leather Accents: Wipe any leather components with a slightly damp cloth and then dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.
- Outsole: Clean the EVA outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure any debris is removed from the tread pattern.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.
