FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for a child with wide feet?
The Fresh Foam 625 features a standard width. While the stretch laces offer some adjustability, children with significantly wide feet might find a wider fit model more comfortable.
What age group are these trainers best for?
These trainers are ideal for young children, including first-time walkers and those engaged in light running and play. They are typically suited for toddlers through early elementary school ages.
How do I clean the Fresh Foam midsole?
The Fresh Foam midsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Gently scrub away dirt and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
Can the stretch laces be removed or replaced?
The stretch laces are integrated into the design for a secure, slip-on feel. They are not designed to be removed or replaced with traditional laces.
What is the main benefit of the Fresh Foam technology?
Fresh Foam technology provides exceptional cushioning and a lightweight, responsive feel, helping to reduce impact and enhance comfort during active use for young children.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers feature a breathable mesh upper and are not designed to be waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light splashes, but not for prolonged exposure to water.
How secure is the NEW-B closure?
The NEW-B closure, combined with hidden velcro and stretch laces, is designed to provide a secure fit that keeps the shoe on during active play while remaining easy for children to manage.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on
Ensure the velcro strap is fully undone. Gently loosen the stretch laces if necessary and try again. For very young children, assistance may be needed for the initial few wears.
Child complains of discomfort
Check that the shoe size is correct and that the velcro strap is adjusted appropriately for a secure but not too tight fit. Ensure the sock being worn is not causing irritation.
Traction seems poor
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn down.
Materials appear dirty quickly
This is common with lighter colored shoes. Follow the care instructions to clean the upper regularly. Consider using a protective spray suitable for athletic footwear if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for unisex children and are suitable for a wide range of activities, including walking, running, and general play. They are best suited for children aged preschool to early elementary school years.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the mesh and nylon/suede upper with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Clean the foam midsole and rubber outsole with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap solution. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
