FAQs
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
It is highly recommended to try the footwear on before returning. Please be aware that the box or label may display US or European sizing, which can differ from the UK size indicated.
What are the main materials used in these trainers?
The trainers feature an upper made from a combination of synthetic materials and textiles, with a durable rubber outsole.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for fashionable leisure time and general wear. They are not specialized sports shoes, but the non-slip tread offers good stability for everyday activities.
How should I clean the grey colour to prevent fading?
Wipe the trainers with a damp cloth and mild soap solution if necessary. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat to preserve the colour and materials.
What does the '408' in the product name signify?
The '408' refers to the specific model or series number within the New Balance footwear range, indicating a particular design and feature set for that line.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the rubber sole provides grip, the materials are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What is the benefit of the non-slip tread pattern?
The non-slip tread pattern on the rubber outsole is designed to enhance grip and stability on a variety of surfaces, reducing the likelihood of slips and falls during wear.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the lacing. For a tighter fit, pull laces more firmly. For a looser fit, slacken the laces, especially around the top eyelets. Ensure the correct UK size has been selected by trying them on.
Sole feels slippery
Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud or debris. The non-slip tread is designed for optimal grip when clean. If the issue persists on smooth surfaces, consider the limitations of the tread pattern for those specific conditions.
Materials showing signs of wear
Clean the trainers regularly according to care instructions. Minor scuffs on synthetic parts can often be wiped away. Address small tears or loose stitching promptly to prevent further damage.
