FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The U408 series is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. While comfortable for walking, they are not intended for long-distance or high-intensity running.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers use standard UK sizing. We recommend measuring your foot while standing and comparing it to the size chart to ensure a proper fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics or third-party insoles if desired.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the materials are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What is the C-cap midsole?
C-cap is a proprietary compression-molded EVA midsole that provides flexible, lightweight, and durable cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper
Use a soft brush to gently remove surface debris before wiping with a damp cloth.
Sensation of reduced cushioning
Ensure the factory-provided insole is lying flat and not bunched at the heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance U408 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
- Avoid Immersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage the midsole foam and adhesives.
- Air Dry: If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to maintain material integrity.
