FAQs
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot. Have them stand on a piece of paper, trace their foot, and measure the length. Compare this to Puma's size chart. Always leave about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.
Are these shoes suitable for school uniforms?
These shoes, especially in white, are often suitable for school uniform policies that allow athletic footwear. Always check your specific school's dress code guidelines.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Please follow the 'Care' instructions provided, which suggest hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What kind of activities are these shoes best for?
These shoes are versatile and excellent for everyday activities such as school, playing at the park, walking, and casual outings. The non-marking sole also makes them ideal for indoor sports and gym classes.
What does 'non-marking outsole' mean?
A non-marking outsole means the sole of the shoe is designed not to leave scuff marks or streaks on indoor surfaces like gym floors, linoleum, or wooden floors. This makes them ideal for indoor activities and prevents damage to flooring.
Are these shoes durable for active children?
Yes, the synthetic upper and rubber midsole/outsole are designed for durability. The lace closure also helps ensure a secure fit, which contributes to the longevity and performance of the shoe during active play.
Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are using a double knot when tying the laces. For younger children, consider replacing standard laces with elastic laces or speed laces, which offer a secure fit without needing to be tied.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing. If too tight, loosen the laces throughout the eyelets. If too loose, pull the laces tighter. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, a different size may be needed.
Shoes are getting dirty quickly.
The synthetic upper is designed for easy cleaning. Regularly wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap after outdoor play. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush. Consistent cleaning prevents dirt buildup.
Shoes make squeaking noises.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the sockliner and the shoe's base. Remove the SOFTFOAM+ sockliner and let both the sockliner and the inside of the shoe air dry completely. Ensure the sockliner is properly seated when reinserting.
Foot odor develops.
Ensure your child wears breathable socks and allows the shoes to air out between uses. The SOFTFOAM+ sockliner can be removed and aired out separately. For persistent odor, consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack: Remove shoes from packaging.
- Lace Up: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your child's foot in.
- Fit Check: Have your child stand up with the shoes on. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Secure Lacing: Tighten the laces snugly but not too tightly, ensuring even pressure across the top of the foot. Double knot for added security during active play.
Compatibility:
These shoes are designed for general everyday wear for children, suitable for school, casual outings, light sports, and playground activities. The non-marking sole makes them versatile for both indoor and outdoor environments. They are ideal for active kids needing comfortable, durable, and supportive footwear.
Care:
- Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher marks on the rubber midsole and outsole, a soft brush can be used.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Maintenance: Regularly check laces for wear and replace if necessary. Keep the interior clean by shaking out any debris.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
