FAQs
Are the New Balance 204L shoes suitable for running?
These shoes are designed for lifestyle and casual use. While they feature running-inspired aesthetics, they do not have the technical cushioning required for high-intensity running.
How do I clean the white leather?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth and use a mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals and never machine wash.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the 204L is designed as a unisex model suitable for all adults.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Leather typically softens and conforms to the foot with wear, but it will not stretch significantly in width.
Can I use orthotic insoles with these shoes?
Yes, if the factory insole is removable, you can replace it with custom orthotics for better arch support.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and reduce natural stress lines.
Surface scuffs on the white leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a small amount of mild leather cleaner to gently buff out marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 204L shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. Ensure you verify your fit, as the slim cut may feel more snug than standard running trainers.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For leather care, wipe down with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to prevent marks.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discoloring.
