FAQs
Are the New Balance 408v1 shoes suitable for running?
These shoes are designed primarily for casual, all-day wear rather than high-intensity running. They provide support for walking and daily activities.
Does the 408v1 run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though it is always recommended to try them on with the socks you plan to wear.
How do I clean the white/cream parts?
Avoid the washing machine. Use a soft brush for dust and a damp, soapy cloth for specific spots.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you need to use custom orthotics.
What is C-CAP cushioning?
C-CAP is a compression-molded EVA midsole that provides stable, long-lasting cushioning without adding unnecessary weight.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface stains on the cream-colored fabric
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam or a mixture of water and mild detergent with a soft cloth to gently spot clean the area.
Laces slipping during wear
Double knot the laces or ensure they are pulled evenly through the eyelets to distribute tension across the midfoot.
Odour buildup after daily use
Remove the insoles after each wear to let them air out and use an antimicrobial spray if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 408v1 trainers last, it is important to maintain them properly. Since the upper materials are chosen for style and breathability, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can degrade the structure and adhesive bonds. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains on the synthetic upper. Ensure the shoes are air-dried in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent material discoloration or brittleness.
