Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 204L Trainers in White/Pink are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro 2000s running style and modern comfort. Their key benefit is versatile styling, easily transitioning from casual wear to athletic-inspired outfits. A potential caveat is their slim proportion, which may not suit wider feet. These low-profile trainers combine '70s running shoe structure with contemporary textured synthetic fabric and mesh, featuring a familiar yet novel design with curved overlays, a rounded toe, lace-up closure, side logo, and a durable rubber sole. This specific variant is crafted from leather.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still snug, try wearing thinner socks or breaking them in gradually with shorter wear periods.
Discoloration on leather
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with standard trainer laces. Consider waxed laces for increased durability.
Slight stiffness initially
This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to gradually soften the material.
