How do I protect them from staining?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your New Balance 408 Trainers starts with finding the right fit. Ensure you check the sizing against your standard footwear size to guarantee optimal support. To maintain the appearance of the white and black finish, it is recommended to wipe them down with a damp cloth after exposure to dirt or debris. Avoid submerging the shoes fully in water or using harsh chemicals that could damage the material. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and keep the materials in top condition.
