Troubleshooting

Visible surface dirt

Wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. Avoid abrasive sponges which can damage the upper material.

Laces becoming loose

Ensure a double knot is used if you are active, or consider replacing the laces with a different texture if slippage persists.

Discomfort after long periods

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the bridge of the foot, which can restrict blood flow and lead to fatigue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your New Balance 408 trainers, ensure you select the correct size to maximize the intended arch support. As these are lifestyle trainers, no specific break-in period is required, though they will naturally contour to your foot shape after a few days of wear. To maintain the crisp white aesthetic, wipe away dirt and debris with a damp cloth as soon as possible. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the materials. For stubborn stains, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically formulated for lifestyle trainers, and always air dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
