FAQs

Are these shoes good for running?

These are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for walking and casual daily use, not for high-mileage running.

How do I clean the white fabric?

Spot clean with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then air dry naturally away from heat sources.

Are these true to size?

New Balance typically fits standard for the size, but it is recommended to compare against your existing athletic footwear sizes.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the provided insoles are removable and can be replaced with personal orthotics or inserts.

What is the best way to keep them looking white?

Use a water and stain repellent spray shortly after purchase and wipe down after each use to prevent dirt buildup.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slightly tight

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.

Visible scuffs on white surface

Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a gentle white-based leather/mesh cleaner to buff out surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 408 Trainers remain in excellent condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Breaking-in: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the bonding agents and materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white fabrics.
  4. Insoles: If you require custom orthotics, the factory insoles are removable to allow for a better fit.
  5. Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight to maintain proper circulation and support.
