FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The 408v1 is designed for leisure and casual activities. While they offer support, they are not specialized performance shoes for competitive sports.
How do I determine the correct size?
These trainers follow standard UK children's sizing. We recommend measuring the foot with a standard ruler or size gauge for the most accurate fit.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is generally recommended to hand-clean these trainers to preserve the cushioning and structural materials. Machine washing can damage the adhesive.
Do they provide arch support?
They feature a cushioned footbed that provides baseline support suitable for everyday wear.
Is the material waterproof?
The materials are durable but not inherently waterproof. They are best suited for dry or light weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot to secure the laces and ensure the aglets are pushed through the eyelets properly.
Footbed feels less supportive over time
Check if the factory insole has shifted; if it has degraded significantly, replacing it with a basic supportive insert can restore comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your New Balance trainers requires a simple routine. To ensure the best fit, adjust the laces to accommodate the child's specific foot width. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole. Use a damp cloth with mild detergent to spot-clean the upper material if it gets stained. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as excessive heat can compromise the cushioning materials and adhesives.
