Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 408v1 trainers last, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. For the initial fit, ensure you adjust the lace-up closure to accommodate your foot's width without over-tightening. For care, avoid machine washing, which can damage the structural integrity and cushioning properties of the midsole. Instead, spot clean with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping.
