FAQs

What age group are these PUMA Palermo sneakers designed for?

These sneakers are specifically designed for toddlers, offering comfort and support for their active feet.

Are these sneakers suitable for both boys and girls?

Yes, the PUMA Palermo Sneakers feature a unisex design, making them suitable for all toddlers.

How do I clean the suede material?

Gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and blot, do not rub. Always air dry away from heat. Do not machine wash.

Are the PUMA Palermo Sneakers waterproof?

No, the suede material is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, and avoid wearing them in wet conditions.

What kind of sole do these sneakers have?

They feature durable gum soles, which are designed to provide good support and traction for active toddlers.

What is 'T-toe construction'?

The 'T-toe construction' refers to a distinctive design detail at the front of the shoe, where the toe cap forms a 'T' shape. It's a classic feature that enhances both the aesthetic and durability of the Palermo silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you've selected the correct size. Measure your toddler's foot against PUMA's sizing chart. If in doubt, try the next half size up or down.

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.

Stubborn stains on suede.

For more difficult stains, a suede eraser can be used. Gently rub the eraser over the stain. If the stain persists, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Odour develops inside the sneakers.

Allow the sneakers to air out after each wear. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside and let it sit overnight (ensure to remove before wear).

Soles show excessive wear quickly.

While the gum soles are durable, very abrasive surfaces or activities can cause faster wear. Inspect regularly and consider the types of surfaces your child plays on. This is generally covered under warranty for manufacturing defects, not typical wear and tear.

Care Instructions

Due to the suede material, proper care is essential to maintain the sneakers' appearance and longevity.

  1. Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust using a soft suede brush (nylon or brass bristles).
  2. Spot Cleaning: For small stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for suede. Apply sparingly to a clean cloth and gently blot the stain. Do NOT rub vigorously.
  3. Water Protection: Suede is not waterproof. Consider using a suede protector spray before the first wear to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically.
  4. Drying: If the sneakers get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Never put suede sneakers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the material and glues.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
