FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for a baby's first steps?

Yes, the Fresh Foam 625 trainers are specifically designed with extra cushioning and a stable outsole to support first-time walkers and provide comfort.

How do I clean the breathable mesh upper?

You can use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more stubborn marks, a small amount of mild soap with water can be used, followed by wiping clean and air drying.

What is the NEW-B closure system?

The NEW-B closure combines stretch laces for a secure, lace-up appearance with hidden Velcro for quick and easy on-and-off functionality, providing a secure fit without traditional lacing.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

While hand washing is recommended for longevity, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water if placed in a mesh bag. Always air dry afterward.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is flat, providing a stable base for young children.

What materials are used for the upper?

The upper is made from a breathable mesh material with synthetic overlays for added durability and structure.

What is the main benefit of the Fresh Foam midsole?

The Fresh Foam midsole offers superior cushioning and a lightweight feel, providing comfort and support for active young feet.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the hidden Velcro strap on the NEW-B closure for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the stretch laces are providing even pressure.

Difficulty getting the foot into the shoe

Ensure the Velcro strap is fully open. Gently pull the tongue forward and guide the child's foot into the shoe. The stretch laces should provide some give.

Discoloration or material damage after cleaning

Ensure you are using mild cleaning agents and avoiding harsh chemicals or direct heat for drying. Always air dry at room temperature.

Traction seems reduced

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt and debris that may be affecting grip.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the mesh and synthetic materials. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. For the rubber outsole, a soft brush can help remove embedded dirt.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes completely at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Washing: Hand washing with mild detergent is recommended over machine washing. If machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and place shoes in a mesh bag. Always air dry afterward.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
