FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 408 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for high-impact sports like marathon running.
How do I clean the white leather parts without discoloration?
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the white leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.
What is the difference between the listed UK sizes?
The UK sizes refer to standard British footwear sizing. Ensure you check the New Balance sizing chart for accurate conversion if you are unfamiliar with UK sizing.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the material. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and ensure they are properly dried afterward.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please refer to Drop Zone's official documentation or contact their customer service for details on the warranty for New Balance products.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, New Balance trainers are known for fitting true to size. However, individual fit can vary. It is recommended to consult the New Balance size guide and consider trying them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit or thinner socks if they feel too tight.
Leather appears scuffed or dirty
Use a dedicated leather cleaner or a mild soap solution with a damp cloth to gently clean the affected area. For persistent scuffs, a leather repair kit or colored shoe polish might be necessary.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
New shoe soles can sometimes be slippery. Lightly scuffing the soles on a rough surface or using a product designed to increase grip on shoe soles can help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The New Balance 408 trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general unisex adult foot sizes. They are compatible with most casual and athletic apparel.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains on the leather, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the leather and affect the shoe's shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Leather Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially if exposed to dry conditions.
