Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Fresh Foam 625 Trainers are designed for young, active children, especially first-time walkers, offering exceptional cushioning and an easy slip-on design. The key benefit is the superior comfort and support provided by the Fresh Foam midsole, aiding natural foot development. A potential consideration is that the 'lace-up look' closure, while secure, may require adult assistance for very young children. These trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, durable rubber outsole, seamless overlays for comfort, and a unique NEW-B closure system with hidden Velcro for a secure fit. The stretch laces offer a dynamic, adaptable fit.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Fresh Foam 625 trainers are designed for everyday wear and light activities. While they offer good cushioning and traction, they are not specifically designed as high-performance running shoes for intense athletic training.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your child's foot. These trainers are designed to accommodate a standard width for children's feet. The stretch laces and adjustable closure offer some flexibility.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and air drying is the preferred method to maintain the integrity and materials of the shoe.
What does 'NEW-B closure' mean?
The NEW-B closure system is New Balance's design that incorporates hidden Velcro for added foot security and an easy on/off experience, complementing the stretch laces.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides reliable traction, suitable for the demands of active children during regular play and walking.
Are the stretch laces functional for tying?
The stretch laces provide a snug, secure fit and give the appearance of traditional laces, but they are not intended to be tied or untied. They work in conjunction with the NEW-B closure for securing the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the foot into the shoe
Ensure the NEW-B closure is fully open. Gently pull back the tongue and stretch the opening to accommodate the foot.
Velcro not sticking securely
Check the Velcro strips for any lint or debris and clean them with a dry brush or cloth. Ensure the strips are aligned properly when closing.
Foot appears loose despite closure
Adjust the NEW-B closure for a tighter fit. The stretch laces also contribute to a snug feel; ensure they are not overly stretched.
Shoe smells after wear
Remove insoles if possible and air them out separately. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture. Ensure feet are clean and dry before putting shoes on.
