FAQs
Are New Balance 204V trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. However, because of the low-profile design, those with wider feet may prefer to try them on for the best fit.
Can I put my 204V trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause the suede and leather materials to shrink or warp. Always clean by hand using appropriate leather and suede care products.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While the 204V is inspired by running aesthetics, it is categorized as a fashion trainer. It is intended for casual use rather than high-intensity athletic training.
How do I care for the suede components?
Keep them dry. If they get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry away from heat sources.
Is the 204V suitable for all genders?
Yes, the New Balance 204V is designed as a unisex model.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a soft-bristled dry suede brush to gently lift dirt from the nap of the material.
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural occurrence in leather and suede footwear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape.
Footbed feels less cushioned over time
Consider replacing the original insoles with high-quality aftermarket orthotics if you require more arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 204V trainers remain in optimal condition, consider these care tips:
- Protective Treatment: Use a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear.
- Cleaning: Gently brush off dried dirt using a specialized suede brush. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather or suede finish.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the grey colorway.
- Compatibility: These trainers are unisex, offering a wide range of sizes for various foot widths. Ensure you check your specific UK size, as the low-profile fit is true to size but may feel snug compared to chunkier models.
