FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the suede material is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to protect the material.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaning solution applied carefully with a clean cloth is recommended. Always test on a small, hidden area first and allow to air dry.
What is the gum sole made of?
The gum sole is typically made of natural rubber, known for its durability and excellent grip properties.
Are these suitable for everyday wear at nursery/daycare?
Yes, their durable construction and comfortable design make them suitable for everyday wear. However, be mindful of activities that might expose the suede to excessive dirt or moisture.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, these trainers should not be machine washed as it can damage the suede material and overall shoe construction.
Is the sizing true to fit?
PUMA toddler sizing is generally consistent. However, it's always recommended to measure your child's feet and compare with a size chart, as foot sizes can vary.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore the nap and lift surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaning product.
Stains on suede
Address stains immediately. For minor marks, an eraser for suede can work. For liquid stains, blot gently (do not rub) and then use a suede cleaner. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, double-check the size against your child's current foot measurements. Toddlers' feet grow quickly, so frequent measurement is recommended.
Gum sole losing grip
Clean the gum sole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.
Odor develops in the shoe
Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight (inside a sock or cloth bag) to absorb odors. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.
