FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 408 trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-performance running or athletic training.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow product instructions. Allow to air dry.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material.
What does 'ML408I' refer to?
ML408I is the specific article number or model code for this particular New Balance trainer.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular cleaning, these trainers are built for durability and should last for a considerable period of everyday use.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This guide focuses on the White/Black colorway. Availability of other colors may vary by retailer and season.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness in new trainers
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help.
Discoloration on white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner for white leather. For minor scuffs, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Slightly loose fit
Ensure laces are tied correctly and tightened to secure the foot. If the fit is significantly loose, consider using insoles for a snugger feel.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For regular cleaning, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes in water.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
