FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, the PUMA Palermo Trainers are designed as lifestyle and fashion footwear. While comfortable for everyday walking, they are not engineered for the demands of running or other athletic sports.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers are available in standard UK adult sizing, such as UK 5.5. We recommend trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit, or refer to PUMA's official size guide if you are unsure of your usual size.
Can I wash my PUMA Palermo Trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended, especially for suede materials. It can severely damage the suede, alter the shape, and degrade the adhesive. Always follow the specific care instructions for suede.
What is 'terrace fashion'?
'Terrace fashion' refers to a subculture that originated in the 1970s and 80s, primarily associated with football fans who adopted designer sportswear, particularly trainers, as part of their identity. The PUMA Palermo trainers are a classic example of this style.
Will the 'Ruby Shimmer' color fade over time?
All colored materials can experience some degree of fading with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. To preserve the vibrant 'Ruby Shimmer' color, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct light when not in use.
Is the leather formstrip easy to clean?
Yes, the leather formstrip is generally easier to clean than suede. You can gently wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary), then dry it thoroughly. Avoid getting cleaning agents for leather onto the suede.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush in a single direction to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner.
Trainers got wet and look discolored or stiff
Do not rub or try to dry with heat. Gently blot excess water with a clean cloth. Stuff the trainers with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape, then allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Foil printed branding is starting to wear off
This is typically due to natural wear and tear. To minimize further degradation, avoid excessive rubbing on the branded areas and apply suede/leather protector sprays carefully around the branding, not directly on it, if possible. Once worn, it cannot be fully restored.

Care
Given the suede base, proper care is crucial to maintain the appearance and longevity of your PUMA Palermo Trainers. Follow these guidelines:
- Protect Before First Wear: Apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning Stains: For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
- Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing your trainers in rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, pat them gently with a clean cloth and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent color fading and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
