FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for playing football?

The PUMA Palermo trainers are inspired by football heritage but are designed primarily for casual wear and streetwear. They are not recommended for intense athletic performance like playing football.

What materials are the PUMA Palermo trainers made from?

These trainers feature a suede base and a leather Formstrip, with a classic gum sole. PUMA's leather products support responsible manufacturing via the Leather Working Group.

How should I clean the red suede material?

For the suede, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first and avoid saturating the suede with water.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the trainers offer some protection, it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions, especially to protect the suede material. Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede and leather.

What does 'terrace culture' refer to?

'Terrace culture' refers to the subculture that emerged around football matches in the UK during the 1970s and 1980s, with fans often congregating in the open standing areas ('terraces') of stadiums. The PUMA Palermo was a popular shoe within this community.

How does the sizing run for these trainers?

The PUMA Palermo trainers generally run true to size. However, if you are between sizes or have wider feet, you may consider going up half a size for a more comfortable fit.

Where can I find other colours or sizes?

You can explore other available colourways and sizes by visiting the PUMA product page or checking with authorized PUMA retailers. The model is available in various executions and colour combinations.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.

Leather Formstrip is creased

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the affected area and gently massage it in. Avoid bending the shoe excessively.

Odour inside the trainers

Allow the trainers to air out completely between wears. Use an odor-absorbing insert or a shoe deodorizer spray.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the gum sole is clean and free from debris. The natural grip of the gum sole may be reduced on very wet or polished surfaces.
