FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the 204L series is designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-impact running or athletic training.
How do I clean the linen material?
Spot clean using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
Are these unisex?
Yes, they are designed as unisex footwear, though it is recommended to verify size charts when ordering.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the linen fabric.
Are the insoles removable?
Most New Balance lifestyle models feature removable insoles, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed primarily from linen, providing a lightweight and breathable feel.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the linen upper
Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose debris before applying any moisture to the fabric.
Footbed feels less supportive over time
Consider swapping the factory insoles for a pair of high-quality aftermarket orthotic inserts.
Discoloration from water or rain
Allow the shoes to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area; do not use a hair dryer or tumble dryer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature linen uppers, maintenance is key to their longevity. To clean, gently brush off surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper stains, use a mild detergent solution applied with a damp cloth, taking care not to soak the fabric. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause the material to warp or the glue bonds to weaken. These shoes follow standard sizing; however, since they are unisex, please double-check your conversion if switching between men's and women's sizing standards.
