FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 408 trainers are designed for casual wear and general comfort. They are not optimized for high-performance running or intensive athletic activities.
How do I check the correct UK size if the box shows US/Euro?
The product description or the actual shoe tag should clearly indicate the UK size. If the box is confusing, try on the shoes to confirm the fit or refer to New Balance's official size conversion chart.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from a combination of synthetic materials and textiles.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method to maintain their structure and materials.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
These trainers provide standard comfort features suitable for casual wear. For specific arch support needs, consider using specialized insoles.
What is the main benefit of the non-slip sole?
The non-slip sole is designed to provide enhanced grip and stability, reducing the risk of slipping on various surfaces during everyday activities.
Troubleshooting
Sizing confusion
The shoe box or label might display US or European sizes. Always refer to the UK size indicated on the product or consult a size guide if unsure. Try them on before purchase if possible.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to let the materials adapt to your feet.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. While designed to be non-slip, some highly polished or wet surfaces may still pose a risk.
