FAQs

Do these shoes have actual laces?

No, the Fun Racer 2 Sliptech models use specialized design technology to function as slip-ons, removing the need for traditional laces.

Are these suitable for school sports?

They are perfect for general school play and PE activities, though they are not specialized performance footwear for professional-level competitive sports.

How do I determine the right size?

Use a standard UK child sizing guide. You should allow for about 10-15mm of room at the front to accommodate natural foot growth.

Can these be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the specialized materials and adhesive bonds.

Are they waterproof?

These trainers are designed for breathability and comfort; they are not waterproof and may absorb water if worn in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels too loose after wearing

Ensure the child is wearing appropriate thickness socks to fill the volume of the shoe, as slip-on styles rely on a consistent fit.

Difficulty getting the foot inside

Check that the back heel tab is fully pulled up during insertion to allow the heel to glide into the shoe smoothly.

Outer sole picking up debris

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove trapped pebbles or dirt from the tread patterns to maintain grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Puma Fun Racer 2 trainers remain in great condition, follow these simple guidelines. For sizing, these trainers generally run true to standard UK child sizing; ensure there is a thumb-width of space between the big toe and the end of the shoe for healthy foot development. When cleaning, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the integrity of the materials. Instead, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials over time.
