FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to spot clean these trainers. Machine washing may damage the structure and adhesive bonding.
How do I determine the right fit for my infant?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for growth.
Are these suitable for outdoor play?
Yes, they are designed for daily wear including light outdoor activities, though they should be cleaned after exposure to mud or dirt.
Do the 408v1 trainers provide arch support?
Yes, New Balance designs these with structural support appropriate for the comfort and development of infant feet.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are designed for optimal comfort; however, if you require medical orthotics, consult a professional to see if they can be accommodated without compromising the fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes becoming difficult to put on
Ensure the laces or straps are fully loosened before insertion and verify the child's foot has not outgrown the current size.
Surface stains appearing on the grey fabric
Spot clean immediately with a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush, then allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the appearance and structure of the 408v1 trainers, ensure they are properly sized to allow for natural foot growth. Always check that the closure mechanism is snug but not constricting to ensure proper blood flow. For care, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove loose dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial detergents, as these can compromise the integrity of the materials and adhesives. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
