- Is the New Balance 204L good for running?
- No. It is a lifestyle sneaker with a basic EVA midsole and rubber outsole. It is fine for walking and casual wear, but it lacks the cushioning and stability of a real running shoe.
- How does the 204L compare with the New Balance 574?
- The 204L is slimmer and lighter, with a more streamlined retro look. The 574 is bulkier and offers more padding and support underfoot.
- Does the 204L fit true to size?
- Most New Balance lifestyle shoes run true to size, and the 204L follows a standard women's fit. If you are between sizes or have wide feet, consider sizing up.
- What materials is the upper made of?
- The upper mixes suede, leather and linen. The suede and linen panels need protection from rain and stains.
- Is the 204L a women's shoe only?
- Yes. This version is sold in women's sizes. Men should look at unisex or men's New Balance models instead.
- Can I wear the 204L all day?
- For light days, yes. The EVA midsole is thin, so people who stand or walk for hours may want a more cushioned shoe.
