FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear for a toddler?
Yes, the PUMA Palermo trainers are designed with comfort and durability in mind, making them an excellent choice for daily wear and active play for toddlers.
How do I clean the suede material on these trainers?
For suede, it's best to use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner or eraser should be used. Avoid water and harsh chemicals, and never machine wash.
Are these PUMA Palermo trainers waterproof?
No, the suede material is not naturally waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material. A suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.
What age group are these trainers designed for?
These PUMA Palermo trainers are specifically designed for toddlers, available in UK children's foot sizes.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Info needed: [Generally, PUMA trainers run true to size. However, for toddlers, it's always best to measure your child's foot and refer to the official PUMA size chart for the most accurate fit.]
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers, especially due to the suede material, which can be damaged by water and detergent.
Are these suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, the PUMA Palermo Toddler Trainers feature a unisex design, making them a stylish and comfortable option for any child.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner or eraser following the product's instructions. Always test on a small, hidden area first.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
New suede shoes can sometimes feel a bit stiff. Encourage your toddler to wear them for short periods at first to break them in. The materials will soften over time with wear.
Soles are losing grip or appear slippery
Check the gum rubber soles for any embedded dirt, mud, or small pebbles, and clean them thoroughly with a damp cloth. Ensure the soles are completely dry before use. If wear is significant, it might indicate natural aging of the sole.
Suede color looks dull or faded
After cleaning, you can gently use a suede brush to restore the nap and vibrancy of the suede. For specific color restoration, consult with a professional shoe care specialist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting your toddler into their PUMA Palermo trainers is straightforward. Simply ensure the foot slides in comfortably, and the laces (if applicable, though many toddler shoes feature hook-and-loop closures or elastic laces for ease of use) are tied securely but not too tightly. Always check for proper fit by ensuring a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the shoe's front.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the premium look and extend the life of your PUMA Palermo trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For small marks, gently wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth.
- Suede Cleaning: For the suede uppers, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a suede-specific cleaner or eraser is recommended. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first use to help repel water and stains.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage suede.
