FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are designed for leisure and daily activity. While they are great for running around at the park, they are not specialized performance runners.
What is the best way to clean the grey fabric?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and never machine wash the shoes.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard New Balance sizing. If your child wears thick socks, you may want to consider this when checking the fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert orthotics if required.
What age group are these for?
These trainers are specifically designed for kids, focusing on their growth and activity patterns.
Do they provide good arch support?
They feature standard support suitable for everyday walking and play, providing a comfortable base for growing feet.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or swap them for shorter, textured laces that hold a knot more securely.
Surface scuffing on the upper
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft brush with a mild soap solution to gently buff out scuff marks.
Unpleasant odours from daily wear
Remove the insoles after a long day to allow the shoe to air out, or use an antimicrobial spray designed for footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 408v1 Trainers remain in great condition, follow these simple steps.
- Sizing: Ensure the UK 5 fit provides enough room for natural foot swelling during the day while remaining secure on the heel.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in the washing machine, as this can degrade the materials.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can cause the materials to warp or adhesives to weaken.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
