FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports like running?
These trainers are built for everyday movement and leisure. While comfortable for general play, they are not technical sports shoes designed for competitive athletics.
How do I determine the right size?
Measure the child's foot in centimeters or inches and compare it to the New Balance UK sizing chart provided on our official sizing guide.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
We recommend hand-cleaning with a damp cloth. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity and materials of the trainer.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The 408v1 series has a standard fit. If your child requires extra width, you may need to look for specific 'Wide' designated models.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, active children grow out of or wear through trainers every 4 to 6 months depending on usage intensity.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Teach the 'double-knot' technique or replace with shorter, textured laces for better grip.
Build-up of dirt in tread
Use a soft-bristle brush to dislodge debris after outdoor play.
Odour buildup after heavy use
Remove the insoles to air out, or use a fabric-safe sneaker deodorizer spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the 408v1 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe for proper foot development.
- Lacing: Teach children to secure the laces firmly to prevent tripping and ensure adequate ankle support during movement.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them in a clothes dryer or directly on a radiator, as excessive heat can degrade the adhesive and fabric materials.
