FAQs
How do I ensure the correct size for my child?
It is best to measure your child's foot and compare it to the UK size chart provided by New Balance. Remember that the box or label may show US or Euro sizes, which can differ from the UK size.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The upper is made of textile and synthetic materials, which offer some protection against light moisture but are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What type of activities are these trainers best for?
These trainers are ideal for active leisure time, including running, playing at the park, and general everyday wear. They are designed for comfort and safety during moderate activity.
How should I clean the blue colour?
For general cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that could affect the colour. Always air dry.
Can these trainers be used for organized sports?
While suitable for active play, they are primarily designed for leisure and general athletic activities. For specialized sports requiring specific support or grip, dedicated sports shoes might be more appropriate.
What is the main advantage of the outsole design?
The non-slip tread pattern on the outsole is designed to provide enhanced grip and stability on various surfaces, helping to prevent slips and falls during active use.
Do these trainers come in other colours?
Yes, the New Balance 408 range is available in various colours, including Pink and White, to suit different preferences.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure laces are double-knotted. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.
Sizing seems incorrect
Always try footwear on before returning. Refer to the UK size indicated on the label/box, as US/Euro sizes may differ. Consult a New Balance size chart if unsure.
Shoes appear dirty after first use
This is normal for light-colored or textured materials. Follow the care instructions for cleaning.
Insole feels uncomfortable
Ensure the correct size has been purchased. If persistent discomfort occurs, consider if an alternative insole might be beneficial, ensuring it fits the shoe profile.
