FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is generally recommended to hand clean the trainers to preserve the integrity of the materials and cushioning.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The 408v1 features a standard width profile. If your child has very wide feet, you may want to ensure they try them on for fit or consider an alternative wide-specific model.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the insoles in most New Balance trainers are removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if required.

Do these shoes provide arch support?

They offer moderate, neutral arch support suitable for daily leisure activities and standard foot shapes.

Is the material breathable?

Yes, the construction uses materials intended to allow for airflow to keep feet comfortable during extended periods of wear.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming untied frequently

Double-knot the laces or replace them with higher-friction athletic laces.

Surface scuffs appearing on the exterior

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth to gently buff out marks.

Foot slipping inside the shoe

Re-tighten the laces starting from the bottom eyelets to pull the material closer to the foot for better stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your New Balance 408v1 trainers begins with ensuring the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. When first wearing them, ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets for optimal foot lockdown. To maintain the appearance of the black trainers, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust or mud. If the shoes become heavily soiled, use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the fabric without using harsh chemicals that could degrade the material. Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or losing their shape.
