FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports performance?

The Puma Palermo trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and traction, they are not engineered for high-intensity athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be employed. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners directly on the suede.

What is the difference between the leather and suede parts?

The trainers feature a combination of smooth leather for durability and structure, and suede for a softer texture and a classic aesthetic. Both require specific care methods.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, excessive exposure to water is not recommended, especially for the suede components. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and ensure they dry naturally if they get damp.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?

Most casual socks will work well. For added comfort, consider ankle socks or trainer socks that complement the low-profile design of the shoe.

What does 'Palermo' refer to in the shoe's name?

The 'Palermo' name refers to the original model of this trainer that debuted in the early 1980s and gained popularity on British football stadiums.

Where can I find other colorways or sizes?

Other colorways and sizes may be available through authorized Puma retailers or the official Puma website. Check for model numbers or specific color descriptions.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off

Refer to the Puma sizing chart and compare with your foot measurements. Consider trying them on in-store if possible. Different models can have slight variations.

Suede becoming matted or dirty

Use a suede brush in short, firm strokes to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid water on suede areas.

Leather showing creases or scuffs

Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or polish appropriate for the shoe's color. Allow the shoe to dry naturally after cleaning.

Odors developing inside the shoe

Remove the insoles (if possible) and air out the shoes. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure feet are dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Compatibility is high with casual wear such as jeans, chinos, and shorts. To care for your Puma Palermo Leather trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner with a damp cloth, avoiding excessive water. Suede areas should be treated with a suede brush or eraser.
  2. Lining Care: The mesh sockliner can be spot-cleaned with a mild soap and water solution if needed. Ensure it dries completely.
  3. Sole Maintenance: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain traction.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect the materials.
