FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

No, the 408 series is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use. We recommend specific performance models for long-distance running.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the C-CAP midsole and the upper materials. Hand cleaning is recommended.

What does the C-CAP midsole do?

C-CAP is a compression-molded EVA that provides flexible cushioning and structural support.

How do I maintain the gold metallic accents?

Wipe the metallic areas gently with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.

Do these run true to size?

The New Balance 408 generally fits true to size for most adults, though it is always recommended to use your UK size reference for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot

Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets and re-thread to allow more volume in the tongue area.

Visible dirt on the linen upper

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth; avoid soaking the shoe to prevent water stains.

Heel slippage while walking

Utilize the top eyelet (the 'runner's loop') to create a more secure lockdown around the ankle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish retro aesthetic suitable for casual outfits
  • Reliable C-CAP midsole cushioning for daily walking
  • Adjustable fit accommodates different foot widths
  • Versatile design matches various styles of clothing

Cons

  • Not intended for marathon or high-performance athletic training
  • Light colour palette requires regular cleaning to maintain appearance
  • Specific to lifestyle use rather than specialized sport support

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, start by adjusting the lace closure to match your foot's tension requirements—don't pull them too tightly, as the upper materials are designed to flex with your natural movement. Regarding care, these shoes feature light-coloured textile and synthetic elements; spot clean them with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these processes can degrade the adhesives and structural foam. Keep them away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping.
