Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Fresh Foam 625 trainers are designed for infants, offering superior comfort and support for first-time walkers. Their key benefit is the ultra-cushioned Fresh Foam midsole and an easy-on/off closure system. A potential caveat is that the 'lace-up' look with stretch laces may not offer the same adjustability as traditional laces for those who need a more customized fit.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Fresh Foam 625 trainers are designed for comfort and support during walking and casual play. While they offer good traction, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact activities like running.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot from heel to toe and compare it with the New Balance sizing chart. Ensure there is a little room for growth, but avoid shoes that are too large, as this can affect stability.
Can the stretch laces be removed or replaced?
The stretch laces are integrated into the design for a secure, slip-on feel and are not designed to be removed or replaced with traditional laces.
What is the heel height?
These trainers have a flat heel height, providing a stable base for new walkers.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of breathable mesh with synthetic overlays for added structure and support.
How should I clean the Fresh Foam midsole?
Wipe the midsole with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
What does 'NEW-B closure' mean?
The NEW-B closure refers to the secure fastening system that utilizes hidden Velcro, making it easy for parents to put on and take off the shoe while ensuring a snug fit for the child.
Troubleshooting
Shoes seem too loose or too tight
While the stretch laces offer a secure fit, ensure the NEW-B Velcro closure is properly fastened. If the shoe still feels off, double-check the sizing against your child's foot measurement.
Difficulty getting the shoe on
Gently pull open the tongue and collar area. Ensure the hidden Velcro is fully unfastened. The stretch laces should provide some give, but a firm but gentle pull is usually required.
Child is tripping or unsteady
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and fit. Check that the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris that could affect traction. Supervise walking practice in a safe environment.
Debris stuck in mesh or outsole
Use a soft brush to gently dislodge any dirt or small particles from the mesh upper or the grooves of the rubber outsole.
