Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 408 trainers last, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals that might discolor the white fabric. For general maintenance, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. If the shoes become heavily soiled, use a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials. Compatibility with various sizes is supported by the wide range of available options, but always verify your specific UK sizing before purchase to ensure the best fit.
