FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The 408v1 is designed as a lifestyle and casual athletic shoe. While suitable for short walks or light gym work, they are not optimized for long-distance running.

How do I determine my size?

These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing. We recommend checking against your current New Balance shoes or measuring your foot length to ensure the best fit.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.

Are these machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and materials of the shoe. Hand cleaning is strongly recommended.

What does C-CAP mean?

C-CAP is a type of compression-molded EVA foam that provides durable cushioning and support underfoot.

Are they water-resistant?

The materials used are typical of athletic trainers and are not waterproof. They may absorb water in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

Ensure you are using the appropriate lacing tension and wear thin socks during the first few days to allow the internal cushioning to break in.

Sole starts to lose grip

Check the tread for debris or buildup. If the tread is worn down significantly, it may be time for a replacement for safety.

Stains on white upper

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a gentle mixture of water and clear detergent. Avoid bleach as it may yellow the white synthetic components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 408v1 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple maintenance steps:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or dirt from the outsole. For the upper, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Never place them in a clothes dryer or near a direct heat source, as this can warp the midsole or damage the adhesive.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the material colors from fading.
  4. Compatibility: These shoes follow standard UK sizing; for the best fit, wear the same type of socks you intend to use with the shoes to ensure proper arch and heel alignment.
