FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and materials. Spot cleaning is recommended.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

They are designed for everyday wear and light activities, making them great for school and recreation, but not intended for specialized competitive sports.

Do these come in other colors?

This specific series and model are featured in a white and blue colorway.

How do I find the right fit for my child?

Measure the child's foot and ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the toes for movement.

Can these be used for hiking?

These are designed for urban and paved surfaces; they lack the deep tread required for rugged hiking trails.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty keeping the white exterior clean

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a soft cloth with mild detergent immediately after getting them dirty.

Feeling too tight after a period of wear

Check if the laces are tied too tightly or if the child has outgrown the current size; consider upgrading to the next half or full size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 408 trainers, keep them away from excessive moisture and avoid machine washing, which can degrade the cushioning materials. To clean the white exterior, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean any surface stains. Ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or cracking. When selecting sizes, ensure a thumb-width of space at the front of the toe box to allow for natural growth and comfort.
