FAQs
What makes these shoes good for first-time walkers?
They are designed with extra cushioning from the Fresh Foam midsole to provide comfort and shock absorption, a flexible sole to support natural foot movement, and a secure, easy-to-use closure system for stability.
How do I clean the New Balance Fresh Foam 625 trainers?
Spot clean using a mild soap and a damp cloth. Always air dry the shoes completely and avoid using washing machines or dryers.
What is the NEW-B closure system?
It's a proprietary closure that combines hidden Velcro with stretch laces. This allows for a secure, custom fit that is easy to adjust and makes putting the shoes on and taking them off simple, without the need for traditional lacing.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, these trainers are specifically designed for walking and casual play. They provide excellent cushioning for walking but are not engineered for the demands of running or high-impact sports.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
These trainers have a flat heel height.
What materials are the trainers made from?
The trainers feature a breathable mesh upper and synthetic overlays, with a durable rubber outsole.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
The child's foot should fit snugly but comfortably. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should not slip excessively when walking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on.
Fully open the NEW-B closure by releasing the hidden Velcro. Ensure the stretch laces are loosened as much as possible before inserting the child's foot. Gently ease the foot in and then re-secure the closure.
Child's foot seems loose inside the shoe.
Adjust the NEW-B closure for a tighter fit. Ensure the hidden Velcro is firmly pressed and the stretch laces are snug without being too tight.
Bottom of shoes wear out quickly.
Check if the shoes are being used for activities beyond walking and casual play, such as crawling extensively on rough surfaces. Ensure the correct size is being worn to prevent excessive friction. If wear is abnormal, contact customer support.
Material appears to be peeling or cracking.
This can sometimes occur with synthetic materials. Ensure the shoes are cleaned according to instructions and not exposed to harsh chemicals. For significant peeling, consider if the shoes are being overused or subjected to rough conditions.
