FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance U408 trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They offer comfort and support for walking and everyday use, but are not specialized for high-impact running or athletic training.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. It's also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.

What materials are the trainers made of?

The trainers feature a combination of leather for structure and durability, and mesh for breathability. The outsole is made of rubber.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the New Balance U408 trainers are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for both men and women.

How should I store my trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.

What is the warranty on these trainers?

Please refer to the retailer's or New Balance's official warranty information for specific details regarding coverage and duration.

Troubleshooting

Initial tightness or discomfort

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit without being too tight.

Creasing on leather panels

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and store them with shoe trees or stuffing when not in use.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the outsole provides good traction, all rubber soles can be less effective on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
