FAQs

What is the PUMA Palermo known for?

The PUMA Palermo is known for its retro design, originating from 1980s football culture, and its updated appeal for modern streetwear. It features a classic silhouette with a suede upper and a distinctive gum sole.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While the gum sole provides good traction, the PUMA Palermo trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They are not intended for rigorous athletic training or performance sports.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning and remove dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What kind of outfits do these trainers go well with?

The PUMA Palermo trainers are very versatile. They pair well with casual outfits like jeans, shorts, and t-shirts, but can also elevate smarter-casual looks with chinos or casual dresses.

What does 'Palermo' refer to in the product name?

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can damage the suede material and potentially cause color bleeding. Consider treating them with a water-repellent spray for light moisture protection.

What is the PUMA x Leather Working Group (LWG) commitment?

PUMA's leather products support responsible manufacturing through the Leather Working Group (www.leatherworkinggroup.com), indicating a commitment to environmental best practices in leather sourcing and production.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For persistent stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Gum sole has scuff marks.

Use a damp cloth to wipe away light scuffs. For tougher marks, try a magic eraser or a specialized shoe sole cleaner.

Trainers smell stale.

Remove the insoles if possible and air out the shoes in a well-ventilated area. You can also place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Color transfer from suede to socks.

This can sometimes occur with new suede. Ensure the suede is dry and consider using a suede protector spray, which can help seal the color. Wash colored socks separately.
