FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 408 series is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for walking and everyday use, not as a specialized long-distance running shoe.
How should I clean the white leather?
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or submersing the leather in water.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to an extent, but it is not fully waterproof and should be protected from heavy rain.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these shoes unisex?
While the 408 series often features unisex designs, this specific model is listed for male sizing.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser to gently buff out surface scuffs.
Shoes feel tight after long periods of wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly and consider wearing breathable cotton socks to help regulate foot swelling.
Interior odor accumulation
Remove the insoles to air them out and apply a shoe-safe deodorizing spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 408 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes are available in specific adult UK sizing; verify your fit before initial wear to ensure maximum comfort.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the leather upper. Avoid machine washing, which can degrade the adhesive and leather quality.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white color from yellowing over time.
- Maintenance: Allow the shoes to air out after a full day of wear to ensure the interior remains fresh and dry.
