How do I determine my size?
These are listed in UK adult sizing; if you are between sizes, it is often recommended to opt for the larger size for extra room.

Can I remove the insoles?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight initially
New Balance trainers often require a short break-in period; wear them for shorter durations for the first few days to allow the upper to conform to your foot.
Visible dirt on the upper fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge surface debris before wiping down with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance U408 trainers maintain their performance and look, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to try them on with the specific socks you intend to wear to ensure an accurate fit.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the midsole integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading of the purple material.
- Maintenance: If the insoles become compressed over extended use, consider replacing them with aftermarket orthotics to refresh the support level.
