FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature a 2000s-inspired running design, the 408v1 is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than intense long-distance running.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the shoe?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent to gently dab the mesh; avoid soaking the fabric.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing for adult footwear. If you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider this when choosing your size.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They are not advertised as water-resistant. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent material damage.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness in the toe box
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets to distribute pressure more evenly across the midfoot.
Excessive scuffing on the upper material
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft, dry brush to gently buff away minor marks from the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 408v1 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Setup: Ensure you are wearing the correct sock thickness when trying the shoes for the first time to accurately gauge your size fit.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK sizes; they pair well with both technical athletic socks and standard cotton crew socks.
- Care: Keep the trainers away from excessive moisture. If they get wet, air-dry them at room temperature. Clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris and a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the adhesive and synthetic materials.
