PUMA Palermo - Purple, size 9

The KinderFit sole is a removable sockliner system developed by PUMA to help parents find the correct fit for their child's growing feet. It often features a printed guideline to check if the shoe size is appropriate for your child's foot length, ensuring maximum comfort and proper development.

Yes, absolutely. The PUMA Palermo Toddler Shoes are designed for everyday casual wear. Their durable construction, comfortable KinderFit sole, and easy-on elastic laces make them ideal for active toddlers during play, walks, and daily activities.

For the cowhide and synthetic parts of the upper, use a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap if needed, then wipe clean. For the rubber outsole, a damp cloth or soft brush will remove most dirt. Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat.

The Leather Working Group (LWG) is a multi-stakeholder group that assesses the environmental compliance and performance capabilities of leather manufacturers. PUMA's use of LWG-certified leather indicates a commitment to more responsible and sustainable leather production practices.

While the materials are durable, these shoes are not specifically designed to be waterproof or highly water-resistant. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials and inner comfort.

The elastic laces are designed for stretch and ease of use, not for traditional tying or tightening like regular laces. They provide a snug yet flexible fit. If you need a tighter fit, you may consider adding a thin insole.

The KinderFit sole is designed for optimal fit. First, try removing the KinderFit insole and placing your child's foot on it to check the length. If too loose, consider thicker socks. If too tight, double-check your child's foot measurements against PUMA's sizing guide.

Ensure the laces are not tangled. Gently pull them from various points to loosen them. Over time, elastic laces can become stiff, but gentle stretching should help. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.

Regularly wipe down the cowhide and synthetic portions with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a small amount of mild soap and a soft brush, then wipe clean. Prompt cleaning prevents stains from setting.

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, mud, or small stones that might be reducing traction. Use a brush to get into the grooves. Ensure the sole is dry before use.

Encourage your child to hold the back heel tab while pushing their foot forward. Ensure the elastic laces are fully extended to create the widest opening possible. Practice and patience will help.
