FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While the 408 features a runner-inspired profile, it is designed primarily for casual, everyday lifestyle wear rather than professional long-distance running.
How should I clean my New Balance 408s?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Avoid washing machines as the heat can warp the materials.
Are these trainers true to size?
The New Balance 408 generally fits true to size. If you prefer a wider fit or typically wear thick socks, you may consider a half-size increase.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if you require additional support.
Are these shoes suitable for gym workouts?
They are excellent for light activity and general fitness; however, for heavy lifting or specialized gym training, a shoe with a flatter base may be preferred.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels slightly tight after long periods of wear
Feet naturally swell throughout the day; ensure you are wearing the trainers with thin performance socks or try adjusting the lace tension.
Surface scuffing on the upper material
Gently clean the affected area with a soft-bristled brush and a mild cleaning solution to buff out superficial marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 408 Trainers remain in peak condition, follow these simple guidelines. Ensure you select the correct size, as the 408 series features a standard fit consistent with typical athletic sizing. For cleaning, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth or a specialized sneaker cleaner to wipe away dirt. If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can damage the bonding agents in the sole. Regularly checking the laces and insoles can also extend the functional life of the footwear.
