FAQs

What materials are these trainers made of?

The uppers are primarily made of 95% leather, with 5% other materials. The lining consists of 65% other materials and 35% textile. The cushioning is 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

The Puma Palermo Trainers are designed for casual wear and heritage style, not for high-intensity athletic performance. They offer comfort and stability for everyday activities.

How should I clean the leather parts?

Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the main benefit of the gum sole?

The classic gum sole provides durable traction and contributes to the trainer's authentic retro aesthetic, originally popular in football culture.

Can these trainers be worn by women?

While this specific listing is for men's sizes, the Palermo series may have variants available in women's sizing. Please check for specific product listings.

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

The 'Palermo' name originates from the shoe's debut in the 1980s, where it became a staple among football fans, particularly those associated with stadium terraces.

How do I ensure a good fit?

Refer to the size guide for UK adult foot sizing. It's recommended to wear them indoors first to check comfort and fit before wearing them outdoors.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Normal wear and tear for leather. To minimize, use a shoe tree when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.

Gum sole discolouration

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals which can further damage the rubber.

Slightly tight fit

Wear the trainers around the house with appropriate socks for a short period to allow them to mould to your feet. Consider thicker socks for initial wear.

Water staining on leather

If exposed to water, allow to air dry naturally. Use a leather protector spray suitable for the material to prevent future staining.
