FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean them with a damp cloth to maintain the integrity of the cushioning and materials.
Can these be used for competitive sports?
While supportive, these are lifestyle trainers and are best suited for leisure, play, and school activities rather than intensive competitive sports.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Measure the child's foot length and compare it to the New Balance official size guide, ensuring there is a small amount of room for growth at the toe.
What is the primary material?
The 408v1 series uses high-quality synthetic materials and mesh designed for durability and breathability.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up design allows for significant adjustability, making them versatile for various foot widths.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or replace them with slightly textured laces that hold a knot better.
Surface stains on the white material
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth to gently buff out stains.
Fit feels too loose
Ensure the laces are tightened throughout every eyelet pair starting from the toe box up to the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the laces evenly across the eyelets to provide tension that is snug but not restrictive. For care, keep the trainers looking fresh by wiping away surface dirt with a damp cloth or a soft-bristle brush. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and the cushioning properties. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
