FAQs
How often should I clean my PUMA Palermo Leo sneakers?
It's recommended to wipe them down after each wear to remove surface dirt, especially due to their white color. A deeper clean with appropriate products should be done as needed, typically every few weeks depending on usage.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
While they can handle light drizzle, the PUMA Palermo Leo sneakers are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions, as suede can stain easily and the white leather may become harder to clean.
Are these sneakers true to size?
PUMA Palermo Leo sneakers generally fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up.
What materials are these sneakers made from?
These sneakers feature a durable leather base with stylish suede overlays, complemented by a rubber sole.
How do I protect my white PUMA Palermo Leo sneakers from stains?
Before first wear, apply a protective spray specifically designed for leather and suede. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
Are these suitable for athletic activities?
The PUMA Palermo Leo sneakers are designed as casual lifestyle footwear, not for performance athletic activities like running or intense sports. They are best suited for everyday wear and light walking.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers look dirty or scuffed quickly.
Regularly wipe the leather with a damp cloth and use a suede brush for the suede overlays. For tougher marks, use appropriate leather or suede cleaners and protectors.
Suede looks matted or discolored.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. If discolored by water, try to gently dampen the entire area with a clean cloth and let it dry naturally to even out the color, then brush.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Lacing techniques can also help: if too loose, try lacing tighter or using a different lacing pattern; if too tight, ensure laces aren't overly cinched.
Creasing appears on the leather.
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather with wear. Using shoe trees when storing can help minimize deep creases and maintain shape.

Care Instructions for Longevity
- Cleaning Leather: For the leather base, wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe off with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning Suede: Suede overlays require a specialized approach. Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid excessive moisture, as water can stain suede.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for both leather and suede before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the materials and finish.
- Weather: While stylish, these sneakers are not designed for heavy rain or muddy conditions, as water can stain the suede and make the white leather harder to clean.
