Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 204V trainers are designed for individuals who appreciate a fusion of 2000s running aesthetics and modern climbing-inspired design. These low-profile shoes offer a versatile, slim silhouette that bridges the gap between retro 70s styles and contemporary tech-focused textures, making them ideal for casual daily wear. While they provide excellent comfort through an EVA midsole and traction with a rubber outsole, prospective buyers should note that the suede construction requires careful maintenance compared to synthetic counterparts.

FAQs
Are the New Balance 204V true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing. If you have wide feet, you may consider a half-size up for added comfort.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
No, the 204V is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer and does not provide the technical support required for long-distance running.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
Applying a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing them outdoors is highly recommended to create a barrier against moisture.
What is the primary material used in the construction?
The exterior features premium suede, while the sole unit utilizes EVA foam and a durable rubber outsole.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
Do not put these in the washing machine, as the water and agitation can ruin the suede and degrade the shoe's structure.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or worn down
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material in a circular motion.
Surface stains on the suede
Use a suede eraser or a soft cloth dampened slightly with a dedicated suede cleaner, then let dry naturally.
General grime on the rubber outsole
Wipe the rubber edges with a damp cloth and mild soap, then buff dry with a clean towel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 204V trainers last, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the grey tones of the suede. Because the exterior is primarily suede, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first wear. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this will damage the suede fibers and adhesive bonds. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or a dry cloth and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
