FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for toddlers learning to walk?
Yes, the bouncy gum soles provide comfort and support, which can be beneficial for toddlers at various stages of walking and running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers as it can damage the material and construction. Please follow the care instructions for cleaning.
Are they true to size?
PUMA toddler sizes generally run true to size. However, it's always best to measure your child's foot and consult a PUMA size chart for the most accurate fit.
Is the pink branding durable?
The Pink PUMA branding is integrated into the design and is generally durable for normal wear and tear. Avoid abrasive cleaning directly on the logo to preserve its appearance.
What is the recommended age range for these toddler shoes?
These trainers are designed for the toddler age group. 'Size 9' refers to a specific UK shoe size for children, which typically corresponds to toddlers. Please refer to PUMA's size chart for age-to-size correlation.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or scuffed.
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner as per its instructions. Always brush in one direction.
Trainers got wet.
Do not machine wash or put in a dryer. Gently blot away excess water with a clean cloth. Stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape, then allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.
Foot slipping inside the shoe or feeling too tight.
Re-check the sizing. Ensure your toddler is wearing appropriate socks. If the fit is still off, compare their foot measurements to PUMA's size guide (if available) to ensure the correct size.
Gum sole losing grip or looking worn.
Regularly clean the gum sole to remove accumulated dirt, which can reduce grip. While gum soles are durable, heavy use can lead to wear; this is normal over time. For significant wear, consider professional shoe repair.

- Suede Cleaning: Gently brush away loose dirt and dust with a soft suede brush. For tougher spots, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Gum Sole Care: Wipe the gum soles with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
