FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 408 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and all-day comfort, featuring C-CAP midsole cushioning. While they offer support for walking and light activity, they are not optimized for high-performance running or intense athletic training.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, typically available on the brand's website or product retailer pages. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart for UK, US, or EU sizing. Ensure you consider the specific 'size_adult_foot_uk' provided.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces is not recommended as it can affect the materials and comfort.
What is C-CAP midsole cushioning?
C-CAP is a type of EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam that New Balance uses in its midsoles. It's known for being lightweight, compressible, and durable, providing excellent shock absorption and support for the foot.
How should I clean the trainers if they get dirty?
For best results, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the shoe's materials and structure. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What does the '408' in the product name refer to?
The '408' is a model number specific to this line of New Balance trainers, often indicating a particular design aesthetic or technological integration from the era it was inspired by (in this case, 2000s running style).
Do these trainers come in other colors besides white?
Yes, the New Balance 408 series is available in various colorways, including Grey, Silver/Black, and White/Green, among others, to suit different preferences. The specific model details may vary.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them for short periods or using thicker socks can help stretch them gradually. Check the lacing system to ensure it's not overly tightened.
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole. Ensure insoles are properly seated.
Discoloration on white parts
Gently clean the affected areas with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher stains, a specialized shoe cleaner for white materials may be used, following product instructions carefully.
