Can I put these in the washing machine?

Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white upper
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a mix of water and mild soap with a soft brush.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure they are double-knotted or consider replacing them with higher-friction laces if necessary.
Creasing in the toe box
This is natural with wear; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your New Balance 408 trainers in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the 408 series generally adheres to standard shoe sizing conventions.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, they will conform slightly more to your foot shape after a few days of wear.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper. For deeper stains, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid placing them near radiators or direct heat, as this can degrade the adhesives and material integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white finish from yellowing over time.
