FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for all weather conditions?
The suede material makes them best suited for dry conditions. While a protective spray can help, we recommend avoiding heavy rain or muddy environments to preserve the suede's quality and appearance.
How often should I clean the trainers?
For best results, gently brush off dry dirt after each wear. A deeper clean with a suede brush and eraser can be done weekly or as needed, depending on usage and how active your toddler is.
What size should I get if my toddler is between sizes?
It's generally better to size up slightly for toddlers, as their feet grow quickly. However, ensure the fit is not so loose that it causes tripping or discomfort. Always measure your child's feet for accuracy.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers as it can damage the material and construction. Please follow the specific care instructions for suede provided in this guide.
Are these trainers good for running and sports?
They offer good support and durability for general active play and everyday use. For highly specialized sports or intensive running, specific athletic footwear might be more appropriate, but for a toddler's typical activities, they are excellent.
Will the color fade over time?
Like most footwear, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause color fading. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sun when not in use to help maintain their vibrant green color.
Troubleshooting
Trainers appear dirty or scuffed quickly.
Suede is prone to showing dirt and scuffs. Use a soft suede brush and eraser for regular cleaning. For tougher spots, a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Consider applying a protector spray before wear.
Trainer feels too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size for your toddler, as their feet grow quickly; re-measure periodically. Check if socks are too thick or thin. If new, some break-in time might be needed for a snug but comfortable fit.
Suede looks matted or discolored.
After cleaning or if wet, brush the suede gently with a suede brush in one direction to restore its nap. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
Trainer is making noise (e.g., squeaking).
Check if any debris is lodged in the sole. Ensure the insole is properly seated. Sometimes new shoes can squeak slightly, which may diminish with wear.

Care Instructions
To keep your suede PUMA Palermo Trainers looking their best and extend their lifespan:
- Regular Cleaning:
- Gently brush off dry dirt and dust using a soft suede brush.
- For scuffs, use a suede eraser to gently rub the mark away.
- Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Spot Cleaning:
- For minor stains, dampen a clean cloth with a small amount of water (or a specialized suede cleaner) and gently dab the stain. Do not rub.
- Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Protection:
- Consider using a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Drying:
- If trainers get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Let them air dry naturally. Do not put them in a dryer or near a direct heat source.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation.
- Avoid:
- Do not machine wash or submerge in water.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
