FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 625 shoes offer good cushioning and support for active play, including running. However, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes for first walkers and may not offer the specialized features of dedicated running shoes for older children.
What is the best way to clean the mesh upper?
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the mesh. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the material.
How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on the product page or the official New Balance website. It's recommended to measure your child's foot length accurately.
Can these shoes be used in wet conditions?
The mesh upper is breathable, which means it is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles.
What makes these shoes good for 'first walkers'?
They are designed with extra cushioning for comfort and support, a stable base to aid balance, and a flexible sole to allow natural foot movement as toddlers learn to walk.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Please refer to the retailer's or manufacturer's warranty information for specific details, as warranty periods can vary.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear too large or small
Ensure you have measured your child's foot correctly according to New Balance sizing guides. Consider the 'first walker' design may fit slightly differently than standard shoes.
Child's feet feel warm or sweaty
While the mesh is breathable, prolonged strenuous activity in very warm weather might still cause some warmth. Ensure the shoes are not too tight and allow for air drying after use.
Difficulty putting shoes on the child
Loosen the laces or hook-and-loop straps as much as possible before attempting to put the shoe on. Ensure the tongue is fully pulled forward.
