FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are suitable for casual running and active play, but they are not categorized as technical racing or high-performance athletic shoes.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural growth and movement.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and materials. Stick to manual spot-cleaning.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, they are made from standard sneaker materials that are breathable but not waterproof.
Do these provide arch support?
Yes, the 408v1 series includes built-in cushioning and support suitable for standard everyday activity.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot the laces or ensure the aglets are pushed through securely. Consider replacing with elastic no-tie laces if the child struggles with traditional knots.
Visible surface stains
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, then dab the area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the upper materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your New Balance 408v1 Trainers, ensure the laces are tightened appropriately to lock the heel in place without cutting off circulation. For care, keep the shoes away from heavy mud and standing water whenever possible. If they become soiled, gently spot-clean the exterior with a soft cloth, mild detergent, and cool water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the adhesive and material integrity.
