Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 408v1 trainers last, it is important to perform basic maintenance. Since the upper materials often feature fabric mesh and overlays, avoid machine washing to prevent glue degradation or warping. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and a damp cloth with mild soap for synthetic overlays. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. For sizing, these trainers follow standard UK sizing; if you plan to wear thick winter socks, ensure you account for your typical fit preference.
