FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash the 408v1 trainers as it can break down the internal cushioning and adhesive; stick to spot cleaning.

Are these good for sports?

They are designed as lifestyle trainers with a runner profile, making them excellent for casual play and walking, but they are not intended for competitive athletic sports.

How do I ensure the right fit for my child?

Measure the child's foot with a standard ruler and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart, ensuring there is about a thumb's width of space at the toe.

What materials are the trainers made of?

The 408v1 utilizes a mix of durable synthetic materials and textiles designed for breathability and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Try a double knot or replace with slightly shorter laces if the ends are too long.

Outer sole looks dusty or dirty

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to wipe the edges of the sole to restore the finish.

Foot feels too tight

Loosen the lacing system starting from the eyelets near the toe box to provide more volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best fit, ensure the laces are adjusted to the child's preference, allowing enough room for movement without the heel slipping out. When caring for these trainers, it is recommended to spot clean them with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the integrity of the cushioning and upper materials. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the adhesives and synthetic components. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material fading.
