FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they have a runner-inspired profile and offer great support, they are intended for casual leisure, play, and light activity, not professional athletic training.
How do I ensure the correct size?
New Balance typically suggests leaving about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot movement.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No, machine drying can damage the materials and compromise the cushioning properties of the footbed. Always air dry.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The 408v1 is not marketed as waterproof; they are breathable trainers designed for standard dry-weather activities.
What is the primary material used?
The 408v1 uses a combination of synthetic materials and textiles to balance durability with breathability for kids.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Ensure a double-knot is used or consider replacing with elastic laces if the child struggles with traditional ties.
Build-up of dirt on the exterior mesh
Use a soft brush to gently lift debris out of the mesh fibers; do not scrub aggressively to avoid fabric damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the best experience out of your 408v1 trainers starts with a proper fit. Ensure the lace-up system is adjusted so that the shoe feels snug but not restrictive, allowing room for the child to wiggle their toes.
Care Instructions:
- Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt from the outsoles after use.
- For minor scuffs or stains on the upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning materials.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources.
