FAQs

Are the Puma Palermo trainers suitable for sports?

The Puma Palermo trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear, drawing inspiration from football heritage. They are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic performance.

How do I clean the suede on these trainers?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and conditioner are recommended. Always brush the suede after cleaning to restore its texture.

What is the PUMA Formstrip made of?

The PUMA Formstrip on this model is made of leather, complementing the suede base and adding to the premium feel.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers are not waterproof. While the leather and suede offer some resistance, they are best kept away from heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage.

What does 'Palermo' refer to in the shoe's name?

The name 'Palermo' originates from the shoe's debut in the 1980s football stadium scene, where it became a popular choice among terrace fans.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to PUMA's official size guide for accurate measurements. The Palermo typically offers a standard fit, but personal preference may vary.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a suede cleaner may be necessary, followed by brushing.

Leather components are scuffed.

For minor scuffs on leather, try a leather conditioner or a cream polish matching the shoe's colour. A magic eraser can sometimes be used on the rubber sole for scuff marks.

Gum sole is discoloured.

Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a specialized sole cleaner or a magic eraser can be effective.

Shoelaces are worn or dirty.

Replace laces with new ones of a similar type and colour to refresh the shoe's appearance.
