FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for all weather conditions?
Due to their suede upper, these trainers are best suited for dry weather. While a protective spray can help, heavy rain or puddles should be avoided to preserve the material.
How do I determine the correct size for my toddler?
It's best to measure your toddler's feet. Most shoe retailers provide a sizing chart that corresponds to foot length. PUMA often has its own specific sizing guide, which is recommended to consult.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers as it can damage the material and alter their shape. Always follow the specific care instructions for suede.
What is the 'T-toe construction'?
The T-toe construction refers to the T-shaped overlay panel on the front of the shoe. It's a classic design feature of many heritage PUMA models, adding both style and durability to the toe box.
Are the colors prone to fading?
Like all colored suede, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can potentially cause some fading over time. Proper storage away from direct light and using a protective spray can help maintain vibrancy.
Are these shoes heavy for a toddler?
The PUMA Palermo trainers are designed with toddlers in mind, featuring lightweight materials appropriate for their age group while still offering necessary support and durability.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and lift dirt. Brush in small, consistent strokes.
Trainers got wet and look discolored
Stuff with paper to absorb moisture, then air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. If discoloration persists, a professional suede cleaner may be needed.
Dirt and scuffs on the gum sole
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth, possibly with a small amount of mild soap. For tougher scuffs, a magic eraser can be used carefully.
Foot odor develops
Ensure your toddler wears socks. Air out the shoes after each wear. If needed, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (remove before wear).
Fit feels too tight or loose
Double-check sizing against a foot measuring guide. Ensure socks are not too thick or thin. Consider adjusting the laces for a more secure or relaxed fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your PUMA Palermo Trainers is simple:
- Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
- Sizing: Ensure the size (UK 7 for this variant) is appropriate for your toddler's foot. A comfortable fit is crucial for developing feet.
- Wearing: Untie or loosen laces/straps, slide the foot in, and secure them comfortably but not too tightly.
Compatibility
These trainers are specifically designed for toddlers, offering a unisex fit. They pair well with various casual outfits, from jeans and shorts to dresses and skirts, making them a versatile addition to any toddler's wardrobe.
Care
Proper care will help maintain the premium look and longevity of your suede trainers:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and debris. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For liquid spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Gum Soles: Wipe gum soles with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary) to remove dirt and maintain grip. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
