FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 408 Series trainers are designed for comfort and durability for everyday wear and casual use. They are not specifically engineered as running shoes and may lack the specialized support and cushioning required for intense athletic training.
What material are the New Balance 408 Series trainers made of?
These trainers feature a leather upper, providing durability and a classic aesthetic.
How do I clean the white and black leather?
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the leather. For stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used. Allow to air dry completely and avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these trainers available in other colors?
This specific guide focuses on the white and black colorway. Availability of other colors may vary by retailer.
What does 'unisex' mean for these trainers?
Unisex means the trainers are designed to be worn by people of any gender. They typically feature a design that is not gender-specific in terms of fit or style.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the material.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
Ensure you have the correct size. If the issue persists, consider using insoles for added cushioning or consult a footwear specialist.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple. For scuffs, try a matching color shoe polish or a leather repair kit.
Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The rubber outsole is designed for general traction. For extremely slick surfaces, consider the limitations of the footwear and exercise caution. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: The New Balance 408 Series trainers are designed for general wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure clothing. They are suitable for adult wear.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
