FAQs
What is the Puma Palermo trainers' original purpose?

What material are the trainers primarily made from?
These trainers feature a premium suede upper.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
While comfortable for casual wear and light activity, they are not designed as performance athletic shoes for running or intense sports.
How do I maintain the suede material?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and specialized suede cleaners for stains. It's advisable to protect them with a suede protector spray.
What is the significance of the gum rubber sole?
The gum rubber sole is a classic design element that provides a retro aesthetic and reliable grip.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is generally not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet conditions due to the material's susceptibility to water damage and staining. Using a water repellent spray can offer some protection.
What does 'T-toe construction' refer to?
T-toe construction is a design feature often found on classic trainers, characterized by a T-shaped panel on the toe box, which adds durability and a distinctive look.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Gum sole has scuffs or dirt
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a clean damp cloth.
Shoe shape is degrading
Ensure proper storage by using shoe trees or stuffing the shoes with paper when not in use. Avoid crushing them during storage.
Water damage on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Future protection with a suede spray is recommended.
