FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from a synthetic-textile material, offering a balance of flexibility and breathability.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 408 trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact running and may not provide the necessary support or cushioning for intense training.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
We recommend trying the shoes on before purchasing. Pay attention to the UK size listed, as the packaging may display US or Euro sizes which can differ. Refer to the New Balance size guide for accurate conversions if needed.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap for best results.
What is the primary benefit of the sole?
The sole is made of rubber and features a non-slip design, providing enhanced traction and stability on various surfaces.
What kind of outfits do these trainers best suit?
These trainers are versatile and pair well with casual and sporty outfits, including jeans, shorts, leggings, and athleisure wear.
What is the return policy regarding trying on footwear?
It is advised to try footwear on before returning. Ensure the shoes are in their original condition and packaging when initiating a return.
Troubleshooting
Sizing appears incorrect
Check the UK size against the US/Euro size conversion on the box or label. Try the shoes on to confirm fit before use. Consult the brand's official size chart if unsure.
Laces are difficult to tie securely
Ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones for better grip.
Slight discomfort during first wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your feet.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists on extremely smooth surfaces, consider the limitations of the non-slip feature.
