FAQs
Are the New Balance 204V trainers waterproof?

Can these be used for long-distance running?
These are classified as casual trainers and are not recommended for long-distance running or professional athletic performance.
Is the material blend durable?

How do I determine my size?
The New Balance 204V typically fits true to your standard UK shoe size; if you wear thick socks, you may want to test accordingly.
How should I dry the shoes if they get wet?
Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, which can damage the leather.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on patent leather
Gently buff the area with a slightly damp microfiber cloth; for deeper scuffs, consult a leather-specific cleaner.
Mesh appearing dirty or dusty
Use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently agitate the fabric, then wipe with a dry cloth to lift debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 204V trainers remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and leather areas. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for the patent leather sections.
- Moisture Protection: Applying a leather protector spray can help guard the material against light rain and stains.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the patent leather from cracking over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most users, but consider using thin-to-medium thickness socks to maintain the intended low-profile fit.
