FAQs
Are the New Balance 408 Trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are inspired by running shoe aesthetics but are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for intense athletic training or long-distance running.

The C-CAP midsole provides durable underfoot cushioning and support, ensuring comfort throughout the day.
How should I clean my New Balance 408 Trainers?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing. Allow to air dry naturally.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
The mesh upper may not provide significant water resistance. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

The fit is generally considered standard for New Balance trainers. An adjustable lace closure allows for customization. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult size guides.
What does the '2000s-inspired running style' mean?
This refers to the design elements, silhouette, and materials that were popular in running shoe designs during the early 2000s, giving the trainers a distinct retro look.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace closure for a more personalized fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Discomfort during extended wear.
Ensure laces are tied appropriately for support. If persistent, the shoe may not be the best fit for your foot type or activity level.
