FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the New Balance Fresh Foam 625 trainers are designed for everyday comfort and support, making them perfect for nursery, playtime, and daily activities.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot and refer to New Balance's sizing chart. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe for optimal fit and growth.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials and Fresh Foam cushioning. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.
Are these shoes good for children who are just learning to walk?
Yes, they are specifically designed with extra cushioning and an ultra-comfy build to provide optimal support and stability for first walkers and developing feet.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of the New Balance Fresh Foam 625 features soft mesh, which offers breathability and a comfortable feel for active kids.
How do the hook and loop closures benefit young children?
The hook and loop closures make it incredibly easy for both parents and children to put on and take off the shoes, promoting independence and speeding up daily routines.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure the hook and loop straps are adjusted correctly. For tightness, loosen the straps. For looseness, tighten them. Check the toe-box for proper thumb-width space for growth.
Shoes get dirty quickly.
Wipe down trainers regularly with a damp cloth after use. For tougher stains, refer to the 'Care' section for spot cleaning instructions.
Child complains of discomfort or rubbing.
Check socks for proper fit and material. Ensure the shoe size is correct and the straps are not overtightened. Allow for a break-in period if they are new, though these are designed for immediate comfort.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enhanced Comfort: Fresh Foam cushioning keeps feet comfortable for extended periods.

- Supports First Walkers: Specifically designed with extra cushioning and support for developing feet.
- Breathable Material: Soft mesh uppers promote airflow, reducing discomfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting your child ready with the New Balance Fresh Foam 625 trainers is straightforward thanks to their design:
- Open the Straps: Fully open the hook and loop straps on each shoe.
- Position the Foot: Gently guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is seated comfortably at the back.
- Secure the Straps: Fasten the hook and loop straps snugly but not too tightly. There should be enough room to slide a finger between the strap and your child's foot to ensure a comfortable fit.
- Check Fit: Have your child stand up. Press down on the front of the shoe to ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe. This allows for growth and movement.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for kids, specifically first walkers and young children. They feature a unisex design, making them suitable for all genders. They are ideal for everyday wear, light play, and nursery activities.
Care
Proper care will help extend the life and maintain the appearance of the Fresh Foam 625 trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the affected areas.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, you can hand wash the trainers using a gentle detergent and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and cushioning. Stuff with paper towels to absorb excess moisture and help maintain shape while drying.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or strong cleaning agents, as they can discolor or damage the mesh and foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
