Are the New Balance 204V trainers suitable for gym use?
These are primarily lifestyle trainers. While they are comfortable for walking, they are not designed for high-intensity training or heavy lifting.
Are these shoes true to size?

Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the shoe. Always clean by hand with appropriate products.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from premium leather, providing both durability and a polished aesthetic.

Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuffs or markings
Use a specialized leather conditioner or a soft, damp cloth to gently buff out minor surface scuffs.
Feeling of stiffness in the leather
Leather requires a break-in period; wear the shoes for short durations around the house until the material softens to your foot shape.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the eyelets and consider using a double knot for extra security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 204V trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. Since these are leather shoes, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or mud, which can degrade the material. If the shoes get dirty, wipe them with a clean, dry cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking. To maintain the shape, use a shoe tree or stuff the interior with paper when not in use.
