FAQs
What is the KinderFit sole?
The KinderFit sole is an ergonomic insole designed by PUMA to help parents and children find the perfect fit. It often features markings that allow you to check if the shoe is the correct size for your child's foot, ensuring maximum comfort and support for healthy growth.
Are these shoes suitable for all weather conditions?
While durable, the PUMA Palermo's suede upper is best suited for dry conditions. Suede can be sensitive to water and mud, so we recommend avoiding heavy rain or very wet environments to maintain the shoe's appearance and integrity.
How do I choose the correct size for my toddler?
PUMA toddler shoes often run true to size, but we recommend measuring your child's foot and consulting PUMA's official size chart. The KinderFit sole feature also assists in verifying the fit once the shoe is on.
Can the elastic laces be adjusted or replaced?
The elastic laces are designed for convenience and a snug fit. While they provide flexibility, they are generally not designed to be individually tightened or replaced like traditional laces. Their elastic nature allows for easy slip-on functionality.
What does 'T-toe construction' mean?
T-toe construction refers to the distinctive overlay design on the toe box of the shoe, where a 'T'-shaped panel is stitched over the forefoot. It's a classic athletic shoe design element, adding to both durability and style.
Are these shoes heavy for a toddler?
No, the PUMA Palermo is designed to be lightweight, making it comfortable for toddlers to wear throughout the day without feeling cumbersome. The materials chosen balance durability with ease of movement.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or are difficult to put on.
Ensure you have the correct size. The elastic laces are designed for ease, but always check if the foot is fully seated. The KinderFit sole can help confirm the size.
Suede upper looks dirty or stained.
Use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For set-in stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede.
Shoes emit an odor after prolonged use.
Ensure the shoes are aired out regularly. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Remove insoles if possible for separate cleaning and airing.
Sole appears to be losing grip.
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. If wear is significant, consider replacement, though rubber outsoles are generally durable.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your PUMA Palermo shoes:
- For the Suede Upper: Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and protector are recommended. Avoid harsh scrubbing or water, as suede can be sensitive.
- For the Synthetic Lining: Wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow to air dry completely.
- For the Rubber Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove dirt and maintain grip.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation.
