FAQs

What age group are these trainers designed for?

These trainers are specifically designed for kids, particularly first walkers and active toddlers/young children, offering optimal support and comfort for their developmental stages.

How do I clean my New Balance Fresh Foam 625 trainers?

Gently wipe the mesh upper and sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials.

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor play?

Yes, they are designed with durable materials and cushioning suitable for both indoor and outdoor active play, providing comfort and support for exploring toddlers.

What does 'Fresh Foam' mean?

Fresh Foam is a New Balance proprietary cushioning technology that provides an ultra-cushioned and comfortable underfoot experience. It's engineered to deliver precise cushioning, absorbing impact and providing a soft, responsive ride.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The specific model described in this guide is available in Black/White Mesh. While New Balance's Fresh Foam line may offer other colors, this particular variant is primarily in black.

Is the sizing standard for children's shoes?

The sizing follows standard UK children's foot sizing. However, as children's feet vary and grow quickly, it is always recommended to measure your child's foot and consult the New Balance official sizing guide for the most accurate fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose on my child's foot.

First, re-check your child's current foot size against a New Balance sizing guide, as children's feet grow quickly. Ensure socks are not too thick or thin. Adjust the hook & loop straps for a snug yet comfortable fit. If the issue persists, a different size may be needed.

The hook & loop straps aren't sticking well.

Over time, lint, dirt, or debris can accumulate in the hook (rough) side of the fastener. Use a stiff brush, comb, or even tweezers to carefully remove any build-up. Once clean, the straps should adhere much better.

The trainers have developed an odor.

Allow the shoes to air out thoroughly after each wear. If possible, remove insoles and let them dry separately. You can also sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out in the morning. Ensure your child wears clean, moisture-wicking socks.

The mesh upper looks dirty or stained.

For light dirt, wipe with a damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a small amount of mild soap mixed with water and gently scrub with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). Rinse with a clean damp cloth and air dry completely. Avoid submerging the entire shoe in water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your New Balance Fresh Foam 625 trainers is straightforward:

  1. Open Straps: Fully open the hook & loop straps.
  2. Insert Foot: Gently slide your child's foot into the shoe.
  3. Secure Straps: Fasten the hook & loop straps firmly but comfortably across the top of the foot. Ensure a snug fit that doesn't restrict movement or circulation.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Designed for kids, specifically first walkers and active toddlers/young children.
  • Gender: Unisex design, suitable for both boys and girls.
  • Sizing: Available in various children's UK foot sizes (e.g., UK 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). Always refer to New Balance's specific sizing chart for the best fit.
  • Material: Primarily features a Nylon upper for durability and breathability.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: For general dirt, gently wipe the mesh upper and sole with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight). Do not tumble dry or use a hairdryer, as extreme heat can damage the materials.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically check the hook & loop fasteners for lint, dirt, or debris that might impede adhesion. Clean them with a small brush or by hand to ensure they stick properly.
  4. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp or humid environments.
