FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to clean them by hand using a damp cloth to avoid damaging the materials and cushioning.
Are the 408v1s good for running?
They are designed with a runner profile suitable for leisure and casual play, but they are not intended for professional track racing.
How do I know if the size fits correctly?
There should be enough space for the child to wiggle their toes, with roughly a thumb's width of room from the big toe to the end of the shoe.
Do these have arch support?
Yes, they feature a cushioned footbed designed to provide comfort and support during active movement.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally designed to stay in place; however, if you require specialized orthotics, ensure they fit within the internal volume of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure a double-knot is used or consider replacing with textured laces that offer better grip.
Scuff marks on white areas
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft-bristled brush with a mild soap solution to spot clean the area.
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelet upwards to redistribute tension across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 408v1 trainers, focus on proper sizing and maintenance. When fitting, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural growth and movement.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water as this can damage the structural adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or stiffen.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the laces for fraying and replace them if necessary to maintain the integrity of the fit.
