FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature a runner profile and are great for light activity, they are intended for everyday leisure wear rather than professional athletic training.
Can the insoles be removed?
The insoles in the 408v1 series are generally fixed; we recommend keeping them in place to maintain the intended support structure.
How do I choose the right size?
New Balance sizing is standard. Measure your child's foot length and compare it to the brand's official size guide for the most accurate fit.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and materials of the trainer. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Are they waterproof?
These trainers are made from breathable materials and are not designed to be waterproof or water-resistant.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Consider using a double-knot or replacing the laces with elastic 'no-tie' alternatives if the child struggles with traditional knots.
Surface scuffs on the white exterior
Gently wipe the affected area with a damp magic eraser or a mixture of mild dish soap and water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug hold without restricting circulation. When cleaning, remove loose surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging the trainers in water or putting them through a laundry machine, as this can degrade the cushioning materials and adhesives. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
