FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The PUMA Palermo trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact sports or running. They lack the specialized support and cushioning required for athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid over-wetting the suede. Always air dry.
What is the PUMA gum sole made of?
The gum sole is typically made from rubber, providing durability and good traction. It's a classic feature of many PUMA heritage models.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the gum sole offers some protection, suede is not ideal for wet conditions. It can stain and become damaged. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and consider using a suede protector spray.
How do the PUMA Palermo trainers fit?
They generally offer a comfortable fit with a rounded toe box. It's recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit for your foot shape.
What does 'Original Colourway' mean?
This refers to the colours used in the trainers being true to the initial release of the PUMA Palermo model, preserving its classic look.
Is this product part of the PUMA Archive collection?
Yes, the PUMA Palermo trainers are part of the PUMA Archive collection, which reissues and celebrates iconic designs from PUMA's history.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser to gently lift stains. For tougher marks, try a slightly damp cloth, ensuring not to saturate the material. Allow to air dry completely.
Gum sole discolouration
Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals which can damage the rubber.
Fit feels tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the shoes are new, they may need a short break-in period. If persistent, consider if this is the correct size for your foot.
