FAQs
Is the New Balance 204V true to size?
Yes, the 204V fits standard UK shoe sizing, so we recommend purchasing your usual size.
Can I use these for running?
While the design is inspired by 2000s running shoes, the 204V is primarily a lifestyle trainer intended for casual use, not high-intensity athletic performance.
How do I best clean the grey leather?
Wipe with a damp, soft cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner approved for footwear.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 204V is designed as a unisex product, suitable for all genders.
Will the mesh parts tear easily?
The mesh is durable and designed for daily wear, though it should be kept away from sharp objects to prevent snagging.
Are they water-resistant?
The shoes are made of natural leather and mesh, which are not inherently waterproof. We recommend a water-repellent spray for added protection.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather retain its natural shape.
Difficulty cleaning mesh panels
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, dabbing rather than scrubbing to avoid fraying the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the 204V follows traditional New Balance sizing protocols. To maintain the integrity of the leather and mesh uppers, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or mud. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust after each wear. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to stiffen. Periodically applying a leather-safe protectant can help repel stains and moisture.
