FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

The Puma Palermo Trainers are designed as lifestyle or casual wear shoes. They are not intended for high-intensity athletic training or sports.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a dry suede brush to clean suede. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always brush in one direction after cleaning.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made of 100% rubber, featuring a classic terrace gum sole design.

Are these trainers water-resistant?

While the leather upper offers some protection, these trainers are not fully waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What does 'responsibly made by the Leather Working Group' mean?

This indicates that Puma's leather is sourced from factories audited and certified by the Leather Working Group, ensuring better environmental practices in leather production.

How does the sizing run for the Puma Palermo Trainers?

Puma Palermo Trainers generally run true to size. It is recommended to check the specific size guide provided by Puma for the most accurate fit.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and adhesives of the trainers.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and lift away dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.

Leather scuffs or scratches.

For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a colored shoe cream matching the trainer's color. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

Gum sole discolored.

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher discoloration, a magic eraser can sometimes work, but use gently to avoid damaging the sole.

Laces are dirty.

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
