FAQs
What is C-CAP midsole cushioning?
C-CAP is a compression-molded EVA foam that provides cushioning and durability, offering reliable support underfoot.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 408 trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities, not for high-performance running like marathons. For such events, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or consult the size guide provided by the retailer. Generally, measure your foot length and compare it to the chart.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Spot cleaning with a mild soap and water solution is the preferred method.
What is the primary material of the upper?
While specific materials can vary slightly by production batch, the upper typically incorporates a blend of synthetic materials and mesh for breathability and structure, consistent with a 2000s running shoe aesthetic.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The C-CAP midsole provides general underfoot support. For individuals requiring significant arch support, additional insoles might be considered.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort after short wear
Ensure you have the correct size. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe's support is adequate for your specific activity needs.
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction. Try airing the shoes out, or apply a small amount of talcum powder inside near the tongue.
Tread wear on the sole
Normal wear and tear will occur with use. If excessive wear is noticed very quickly, check for any manufacturing defects.
