FAQs

Are the PUMA Palermo trainers suitable for sports?

The PUMA Palermo trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and streetwear. While they offer good traction from their gum sole, they are not engineered with the advanced support and cushioning typically required for intense athletic activities.

How do I clean the textile parts of the shoe?

You can clean the textile upper by wiping it with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

What does 'terrace culture' refer to?

Terrace culture refers to a style associated with football fans who would gather on the terraces of stadiums. This style often incorporates casual, comfortable, yet fashionable sportswear, which the PUMA Palermo embodies.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the suede and textile upper are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the materials.

What is the PUMA Leather Working Group support?

PUMA's support for the Leather Working Group (LWG) means their leather products are sourced from tanneries audited for their environmental practices, aiming for responsible leather manufacturing.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to PUMA's official size guide for accurate measurements. It's also helpful to read customer reviews regarding fit, as some styles may run larger or smaller than expected.

What care is needed for the gum sole?

The gum sole is durable but can show scuffs. Clean it with a damp cloth or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might alter its color or texture.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in one direction to lift the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.

Gum sole is scuffed

Minor scuffs on the gum sole can sometimes be removed with a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap. For persistent marks, consult shoe care guides for specific methods.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is slightly snug.

Color transfer from suede to socks

This can happen with new suede. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially. The color transfer should decrease with wear and gentle cleaning.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed as unisex adult footwear and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They are suitable for most foot types seeking a comfortable, fashion-forward shoe.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your PUMA Palermo trainers:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be required, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Cleaning Textile & Rubber: Wipe down the textile upper and rubber sole with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials, especially the suede.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
