FAQs

What material are these PUMA Palermo Sneakers made from?

The upper part of these sneakers is made from premium suede, complemented by a classic gum rubber sole.

Are these sneakers suitable for all types of weather?

Due to their suede construction, these sneakers are best suited for dry, mild weather conditions. We recommend using a suede protector spray if there's a chance of rain or moisture.

How do I clean the suede on these sneakers?

For basic cleaning, use a soft suede brush. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always let them air dry and avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

Are these PUMA Palermo sneakers true to size for toddlers?

PUMA generally adheres to standard sizing. However, we recommend checking a PUMA toddler size chart and measuring your child's foot to ensure the best fit, as children's feet grow rapidly.

What does 'T-toe construction' mean?

The T-toe construction refers to the characteristic 'T' shaped overlay panel at the front of the shoe, over the toe box. It's a classic design feature that adds durability and a distinctive look.

Can I put these sneakers in the washing machine?

No, it is strongly advised not to put suede sneakers in the washing machine as it can damage the material, alter its texture, and affect the shoe's structure. Always clean suede by hand using appropriate methods.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, a suede eraser can be effective.

Water spots on suede

Allow the shoes to dry completely naturally. Then, use a suede brush to gently buff the entire affected area to even out the texture. A suede protector spray can prevent future spots.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

Like most new shoes, a short break-in period is often needed. Encourage your toddler to wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to their feet.

Sizing concerns (too small/large)

Double-check the UK size 5 against a reliable PUMA size chart. Foot size can vary, so ensure current foot measurements align with the shoe's size. Remember toddler feet grow quickly.

Care Instructions

Maintaining the suede on your Palermo sneakers is key to their longevity and appearance:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush (a dedicated suede brush or soft toothbrush) to gently brush off dirt and dust. Always brush in one direction.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. Gently rub the eraser over the mark. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
  3. Deep Cleaning: For more significant dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Apply a suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically, especially if wearing them outdoors. This helps repel water and stains.
  5. Drying: If they get wet, stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
  6. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and light.
