FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for a baby who is just crawling?
While they offer excellent cushioning, they are specifically designed and recommended for babies who are beginning to walk or cruise. The outsole provides traction that is more beneficial for standing and walking.
How do I adjust the fit if the stretch laces are too loose?
The stretch laces are primarily for aesthetics and do not require adjustment. The main security comes from the NEW-B closure with hidden velcro. Ensure the velcro is fastened snugly for a secure fit.
What is the primary benefit of the Fresh Foam midsole?
The Fresh Foam midsole provides exceptional, lightweight cushioning that absorbs impact, making it comfortable and supportive for a baby's developing feet during their first walking experiences.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat.
What does 'NEW-B closure' mean?
The NEW-B closure refers to the system that combines hidden velcro with stretch laces, designed to make it easy to get the shoes on and off a child's foot while providing a secure fit.
Are these shoes good for outdoor use?
They feature a durable rubber outsole for traction, making them suitable for light outdoor use on surfaces like grass or pavement. However, their primary design focus is on comfort and support for indoor walking and play.
Troubleshooting
Shoe is difficult to put on.
Ensure the NEW-B closure is fully open and gently stretch the collar as you slide the foot in. The stretch laces offer a look but the primary fastening is the hidden velcro.
Child seems uncomfortable or gets red marks.
Verify the size is correct. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation. The seamless overlay design should minimize this, so double-check the fit.
Outsole appears worn quickly.
These shoes are designed for early walkers and indoor play. Excessive wear on hard, abrasive outdoor surfaces may occur faster than with shoes designed for older children or more rigorous activities.
