FAQs
Are the Puma Palermos true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or wear thick socks, you may consider sizing up by half a size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and suede materials. Always clean by hand using appropriate leather and suede cleaners.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are not waterproof. While leather is naturally somewhat resistant to light moisture, the suede accents are absorbent and should be kept away from heavy rain.
What does the 'Terrace' label mean?
It refers to the 1980s British football culture where fans wore specific styles of trainers to matches, a movement that the Palermo design honors.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you need to use custom orthotics or replace them for better support.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently rub the surface in one direction to restore the nap.
Creasing on the leather toe box
This is a natural occurrence with real leather; using cedar shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and reduce permanent creasing.
Shoes feel tight after long wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preference, as leather may expand slightly; if discomfort persists, consider thinner socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Puma Palermos stay in peak condition, consider these care tips:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized brush for the suede sections to lift dirt and maintain the texture. Use a damp, soft cloth to gently wipe down leather panels.
- Moisture Protection: Before first use, apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather and suede to protect against unexpected spills or rain.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause color fading over time.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are kept clean; if they become discolored, they can be removed and hand-washed with mild detergent.
