FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for sports?
These PUMA Smash 3.0 Glitz Glam V PS Sneakers are designed for casual wear and light recreational activities, offering comfort and style. They are not specifically engineered for high-performance sports or intense athletic training.
How do I clean the glitter material?
For the glitter, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the glitter finish. Allow to air dry completely.
Do these shoes have laces?
No, the PUMA Smash 3.0 Glitz Glam V PS Sneakers feature a hook-and-loop (often referred to as 'Velcro') closure, indicated by the 'V' in the product name. This makes them easy for young children to put on and take off independently.
What age group are these sneakers for?
These sneakers are specifically designed for the 'PS' (Preschool/Primary School) age group, catering to young children's foot sizes and needs for comfort and easy wear.
Are these sneakers durable for active kids?
Yes, with their synthetic leather upper and sturdy construction, these sneakers are designed to withstand the rigors of everyday play for active children. Following the care instructions will help extend their lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Glitter appears to be shedding excessively.
A small amount of glitter shedding is normal with wear. Ensure you are cleaning the shoes gently as per care instructions, avoiding harsh brushes or abrasive cleaners which can dislodge more glitter. Proper storage in a cool, dry place can also help preserve the material.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Check that the shoe size is appropriate for your child. Ensure the hook-and-loop straps are adjusted correctly – not too tight to restrict circulation, but secure enough to prevent slipping. Try different sock thicknesses. If discomfort persists, consult a sizing guide or a footwear specialist.
Shoes look dirty or scuffed.
Clean the synthetic leather upper and glitter areas as described in the 'Care' section using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For scuffs, a white eraser can sometimes help gently lift marks from the synthetic leather.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your PUMA Smash 3.0 Glitz Glam V PS Sneakers:
- Initial Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the synthetic leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing on the glitter areas.
- Deeper Cleaning: Mix a small amount of mild soap with water. Dip a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or cloth into the soapy water, wring out excess, and gently clean soiled areas. For the glitter, blot gently rather than rubbing.
- Rinsing: Wipe away soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the sneakers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash or put in a dryer, as this can damage the materials and glitter.
- Glitter Care: While the glitter is designed to be durable, some minor shedding may occur over time with wear. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing on glitter sections.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
