Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Fresh Foam 625 Trainers are designed for young children, specifically first-time walkers, offering superior cushioning and an easy on-off closure. The key benefit is the ultra-comfortable, lightweight Fresh Foam midsole, which provides excellent support for developing feet. A potential consideration is that while they feature stretch laces for a lace-up look, they are not traditional laces, which might be a factor for some parents seeking to teach lace-tying skills. Key features include a breathable mesh upper, seamless overlays for durability, a rubber outsole for traction, and the innovative NEW-B closure with hidden velcro for secure, easy wear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Fresh Foam 625 trainers are designed primarily for walking and casual wear, offering excellent cushioning and support for young children. They are not specifically designed for high-impact running activities.
How do I know if I've selected the correct size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should not slip excessively when the child walks. The NEW-B closure should provide a snug but not tight fit.
Can the stretch laces be adjusted?
The stretch laces are for aesthetic purposes and to help secure the foot alongside the velcro closure. They are not meant to be adjusted like traditional laces. The primary adjustment comes from the NEW-B velcro strap.
What makes the Fresh Foam midsole special?
The Fresh Foam midsole is engineered using data to provide a precise balance of soft cushioning and durable support, specifically optimized for the needs of developing feet during walking and everyday activities.
How often should I clean the shoes?
Clean the shoes as needed, especially if they become visibly dirty or soiled. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain their appearance and hygiene. Ensure they are fully dry before the next use.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
These trainers offer a standard width. While the NEW-B closure allows for some adjustment, children with significantly wide feet may find a wider-fit model more comfortable. It is best to try them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on
Ensure the NEW-B closure is fully opened. Gently pull the tongue forward and insert the foot, then secure the velcro. If still difficult, double-check the size is correct.
Velcro closure not sticking well
Clean both the hook and loop sides of the velcro with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. Ensure the velcro area is dry before fastening.
Foot appears sweaty after wear
While the mesh upper is breathable, prolonged activity in warm conditions can lead to sweat. Ensure the child's socks are moisture-wicking. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears.
Soles seem slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but very smooth or wet surfaces can reduce grip. Ensure the sole is clean and free from excessive wear. Supervise children closely on potentially slick surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal fit and comfort.
Compatibility: Suitable for unisex children, these trainers are designed for casual wear and walking. They are compatible with most children's standard socks.
Care: To clean the New Balance Fresh Foam 625 Trainers, use a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the affected areas with a soft brush or cloth. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's integrity. Ensure the velcro closure is clean to maintain its grip.
