FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as the agitation and heat can degrade the adhesives and foam. Use manual cleaning methods instead.
Do these come in other sizes?
Yes, the 408v1 series is available in a range of sizes, from small child sizes up to larger youth options.
Are these good for wide feet?
The lace-up design allows for better customization than velcro, making them accommodating for various widths, though they are built on a standard athletic last.
Can I remove the insole to add custom orthotics?
In many New Balance kids' models, the footbed is lightly adhered. If necessary, it can typically be carefully removed to accommodate specialized pediatric orthotics.
What is the primary material used?
These trainers feature a blend of durable synthetic materials and mesh, balanced for both breathability and long-term durability.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot technique or replace with high-friction performance laces.
Difficulty putting on shoes
Loosen the laces significantly down to the toe box before the child inserts their foot, then tighten progressively from the bottom up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 408v1 trainers, start by adjusting the laces to match the volume of the child's foot; the goal is a snug fit that does not restrict circulation. For maintenance, remove surface dirt after use with a soft-bristled brush. If the trainers become heavily soiled, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can warp the materials or damage the foam cushioning.
