Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure laces are adjusted for a secure but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes with short periods of wear before extended use.

Use a specialized suede cleaner or eraser for suede areas. For leather, a damp cloth and mild soap solution can be used carefully, followed by drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred fit. Ensure they are the correct size for optimal comfort.
Compatibility: The New Balance 408 trainers are designed for adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic-inspired clothing. They pair well with jeans, shorts, joggers, and athleisure wear.
Care Instructions: Due to the mixed-material construction (leather, suede, synthetic textile), spot cleaning is generally recommended. For general maintenance, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from suede and nubuck areas. For leather and synthetic parts, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
