FAQs
What activities are these trainers suitable for?
These trainers are ideal for casual everyday wear, school, playdates, and light activities such as walking and gentle running. They are not designed for intense sports or rugged outdoor conditions.
How do I clean the glitter material?
For the glitter sections, gently dab with a slightly damp cloth to clean. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can cause glitter to shed. Do not soak the trainers, and always air dry them away from direct heat.
What is SOFTFOAM+?
SOFTFOAM+ is PUMA's comfort sockliner. It provides instant step-in and long-lasting comfort with soft cushioning, designed for all-day wear.
Are these trainers durable for active kids?
Yes, with their synthetic leather upper, these trainers are designed for durability in daily wear and light play. However, the glitter material may show wear over time, especially with heavy friction.
Do these trainers have laces or straps?
The 'V PS' in the product name typically indicates a hook-and-loop (Velcro) closure system, making them easy for children to put on and take off independently.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the synthetic leather offers some resistance to light moisture, these trainers are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to protect the glitter material and overall integrity of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Glitter is shedding or wearing off.
Glitter materials can naturally shed over time, especially with friction. To minimize this, avoid abrasive cleaning and excessive rubbing. For minor touch-ups, clear fabric glitter sealant can sometimes be applied, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Trainers appear dirty or stained.
For synthetic leather, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. For glitter areas, gently dab with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing on glitter. Air dry completely before wearing again.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the trainers.
Remove the trainers and allow them to air out thoroughly after each wear. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (then shake out) to absorb odors. Ensure socks are worn to help absorb moisture.
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Ensure the hook-and-loop straps (if applicable) are adjusted correctly for a snug, yet comfortable fit. If they consistently feel too tight or loose, it might indicate an incorrect size. Check PUMA's sizing guide for children's shoes to ensure optimal fit.

Setup
Setting up your PUMA Smash 3.0 Glitz Glam V PS Trainers is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
- Adjust: If they feature hook-and-loop straps (common for 'V PS' models), open them fully.
- Wear: Slide your child's foot into the trainer.
- Secure: Fasten the hook-and-loop straps, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. The fit should allow for slight toe wiggling without the foot slipping inside the shoe.

Care
Proper care helps maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Spot Cleaning (General): For synthetic leather areas, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Glitter Care: For glitter areas, use a very lightly damp cloth. Gently dab to clean, rather than rubbing, to prevent glitter loss. Air dry immediately.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesive.
