FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light play, offering style and comfort for everyday activities. For intense sports or rigorous athletic activities, specialized sports footwear designed for specific movements and support is recommended.
How do I clean the glitter material?
To clean the glitter, use a soft, dry brush or a very lightly damp cloth to gently wipe the area. Avoid scrubbing, picking, or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the glitter adhesion and cause it to come off.
What is SOFTFOAM+?
SOFTFOAM+ is PUMA's innovative comfort sockliner. It provides instant step-in comfort and long-lasting cushioning, ensuring a soft and responsive feel with every step throughout the day.
What age group are these trainers for?
These trainers are specifically designed for children, offering features and sizing suited for their comfort, support, and play needs. They are available in various children's UK sizes.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The synthetic leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended, as it can affect the glitter material, the synthetic leather, and the overall integrity of the trainers.
Do these trainers have laces or a different closure?
The 'V PS' in some variant names typically indicates a secure closure system, often referring to a hook-and-loop (Velcro) strap. This design allows for easy on and off, which is ideal for children, providing a secure and adjustable fit without traditional laces.
Troubleshooting
Glitter appears dull or is shedding.
Gently wipe the glitter areas with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods or harsh brushes, which can dislodge glitter particles. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to help maintain the glitter's adhesion.
Trainers feel uncomfortable or rub.
Ensure the correct size has been purchased, as improper sizing is a common cause of discomfort. Check that appropriate socks are worn to prevent rubbing. The SOFTFOAM+ sockliner should provide ample cushioning, but a short break-in period might be needed for the shoe to mold to the foot.
Synthetic leather scuffs easily.
While durable, synthetic leather can show scuffs from active play. Clean scuffed areas gently with a damp cloth to remove surface marks. For deeper scuffs, a specialized synthetic leather cleaner can be used sparingly according to product instructions.
Shoes develop an odor.
Allow the trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Remove the sockliner to air dry if it gets damp. For persistent odor, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight, then shake it out in the morning. Shoe deodorizers can also be used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions
Proper care helps maintain the appearance and longevity of the trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the synthetic leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
- Cleaning Glitter Material: For the glitter areas, use a soft, dry brush or a very lightly damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing or using abrasive materials, as this can dislodge the glitter.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and glitter dulling.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash these trainers, as it can compromise their structure, materials, and glitter application.
