Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 204V is designed for adults seeking a versatile, daily-wear trainer that bridges the gap between retro '70s aesthetics and 2000s performance styling. Featuring a sleek, low-profile silhouette with unique climbing-inspired textures, these shoes provide reliable comfort through an EVA midsole; however, users should note that the suede construction requires careful maintenance to preserve the material's appearance.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and weaken the structural integrity of the EVA midsole.
Can I use these for running?
The 204V is designed as a lifestyle trainer. While it is comfortable for walking, it lacks the technical stability and advanced cushioning required for dedicated running.
How do I remove water stains?
Dab the area with a clean, dry cloth to absorb moisture, then allow it to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
What is the sizing like?
The 204V fits standard to true-to-size for adult footwear, providing a slim, low-profile fit.
Is the material waterproof?
The suede is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray to increase water resistance.
What is the primary material used in the sole?
The midsole is made of EVA for cushioning, and the outsole is made of durable rubber for grip.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or flattened
Use a soft-bristled suede brush and gently brush in one direction to reset the nap of the material.
Visible scuffs on the upper
Use a dedicated suede eraser to gently buff the affected area until the mark is lifted.
Shoes feel tight after a long day
Feet naturally swell during the day; ensure laces are adjusted to allow for natural expansion without restricting blood flow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 204V trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to protect against light rain and debris.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt from the surface. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can damage the suede texture and glue bonds.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, which can cause the grey dyes to fade over time.
- Fit: These trainers are standard adult sizes. If you intend to wear thicker performance socks, consider the standard width and ensure your heel does not slip during natural gait.
