FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 204L generally follows standard adult sizing. If you have a wider foot, you may want to consider a half-size up.
Can I use these for running?
These are classified as lifestyle trainers. While they are comfortable for walking, they do not feature the technical support required for long-distance running.
How do I clean the off-white midsoles?
A magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap can effectively clean scuffs from the EVA midsole.
Is this a unisex model?
This specific variant is designed for women, though the 204L series includes various unisex options.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from a blend of breathable mesh and synthetic overlays for durability and style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feeling too tight after a long day
Feet often swell slightly during the day; ensure laces are adjusted for comfort in the afternoon.
Visible dirt on the mesh panels
Use a dry, soft-bristle toothbrush to gently lift dirt particles out of the mesh weave without rubbing.
Creasing on the midsole
Midsole compression is normal for EVA foam; this does not affect performance, but helps to store the shoes away from heat to maintain foam longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your New Balance 204L trainers, ensure they are laced securely to fit your foot arch. If the fit feels too tight, re-lace using the standard eyelets to distribute pressure.
Care Instructions:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and overlays.
- Stain Removal: Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains on the black overlays.
- Avoid Immersion: Never machine wash or soak the shoes, as this can degrade the EVA cushioning and adhesive layers.
- Air Dry: Always let the shoes dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
