FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
No, the 408v1 is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear rather than professional athletic training.
How do I determine my size for the 408v1?
New Balance generally fits true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet while wearing the socks you plan to use with the shoes.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use custom orthotics or third-party inserts.
Are these trainers water-resistant?
These shoes are not waterproof and are intended for dry or light-weather use.
How often should I replace these shoes?
For casual daily use, you should look for signs of wear on the midsole and outsole, typically after 300-500 miles of regular movement.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Consider using a double knot or replacing with flat performance laces to increase friction.
Shoes feeling tight initially
Adjust the lacing tension throughout the eyelets to allow for natural foot swelling during the day.
Outer sole picking up debris
Use a specialized rubber sole cleaner or a soft brush to remove pebbles and grit from the tread patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 408v1s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. Start by ensuring you have selected the correct UK size, as fit is crucial for the C-CAP technology to align with your arch. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains; avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can damage the materials. Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the shape of the midsole.
