FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 408 features a classic running aesthetic, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for casual, everyday wear rather than intense athletic performance.
How do I determine the correct size?
The New Balance 408 typically follows standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, consider ordering a half-size up for added comfort.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers. Submerging them in water and exposing them to the agitation of a machine can damage the glue and structural components.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The New Balance 408 features a blend of synthetic and mesh materials typical of the 408 series, balancing durability with breathability.
Are these shoes unisex?
This specific variant is listed as a Men's model, though the sizing can be converted for women's use if necessary.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel too tight after a long day.
Feet naturally swell during the day. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks and consider loosening the laces slightly to accommodate natural foot expansion.
Surface stains appearing on the white mesh/upper.
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 408 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have selected your correct UK size. It is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you intend to wear daily.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For spot cleaning, apply a mild detergent diluted with water to a cloth and gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the white material from yellowing or fading over time.
