FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they are inspired by 2000s running aesthetics, they are designed for casual, all-day comfort rather than high-performance running.
What does the C-CAP midsole do?
C-CAP is a compression-molded EVA midsole that provides lightweight, durable cushioning and support.
How should I clean the linen-based materials?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals.
Is this model gender-specific?
This specific variant is designed for women, though New Balance offers a variety of 408 models for different genders.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional support.
What is the best way to store them?
Keep them in a well-ventilated, dry area. Avoid direct heat sources which can damage the adhesive and cushioning.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel too stiff during the first wear.
Like most athletic shoes, the C-CAP midsole may require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Outer material is showing surface dirt.
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose debris, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you receive your 408v1 trainers, ensure you check the size (UK 5 for this specific model) to ensure a proper fit before first use. To maintain the appearance of the cream and silver finish, it is recommended to spot clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the midsole cushioning and the structural integrity of the upper. For ongoing care, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the lighter materials.
