FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
No, the 408v1 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer and lacks the technical stability and advanced energy return required for long-distance running.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the adhesive and cushioning properties of the shoe. Stick to spot cleaning.
Does the 408v1 come in different widths?
These trainers generally follow a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it is recommended to try them on in-store to ensure proper comfort.
How long does the C-CAP cushioning last?
The lifespan depends on usage intensity, but with daily casual wear, you can expect the cushioning to maintain support for several hundred miles of walking.
Are these shoes unisex?
While some models in the 408 family are labeled as unisex, the specific 408v1 model mentioned is tailored for women, though sizing is standard UK.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the material maintain its shape.
Outer sole losing grip
Ensure the tread is free of trapped debris or stones; clean with a stiff brush to restore contact with surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 408v1 trainers maintain their form and function, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during the day.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid fully submerging the trainers in water or using harsh chemical solvents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the foam and synthetic materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup and maintain the shape of the midsole cushioning.
