FAQs
Are New Balance 204L Trainers true to size?
New Balance trainers generally run true to size, but fit can vary slightly between models. It's recommended to consult the New Balance sizing chart or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these trainers for running or sports?
While inspired by '70s running silhouettes, the New Balance 204L Trainers are designed for casual wear and comfort, not for high-performance running or intense sports. Their premium suede upper is not engineered for athletic stress or frequent moisture exposure.
How should I protect the suede from water and stains?
It is highly recommended to treat the suede upper with a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before first wear and periodically thereafter. This will help protect against light moisture and spills.
What materials are used in the New Balance 204L Trainers?
These trainers feature a premium suede upper, an EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole for cushioning, and a durable rubber outsole for traction.
How do I remove scuffs or marks from the suede?
For light scuffs, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the mark. For deeper marks, a suede brush can help lift the nap. Always brush in one direction.
Are these trainers suitable for all seasons?
The suede material is best suited for dry conditions. While they can be worn year-round, it's advisable to avoid heavy rain or snow to prevent damage to the suede.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a suede cleaner according to product instructions, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable
Allow some time for the trainers to break in with regular wear. Ensure you are wearing the correct size and consider trying different sock thicknesses for comfort.
Squeaking sound when walking
Check if the insole is properly seated or if there is any moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's sole. Remove and reinsert the insole, or allow the shoes to air dry completely.
Fading or discolouration of suede
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause suede to fade. Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A suede renovator spray may help restore colour.

Care
Given the premium suede upper, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 204L Trainers.
- Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove debris. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate exposure to light moisture.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your suede trainers. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
