FAQs

Are the Puma Palermo trainers suitable for sports?

The Puma Palermo trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer comfort for everyday activities, they are not engineered for high-performance sports or rigorous athletic training.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush or eraser to remove dry dirt. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner can be used following the product's instructions. Avoid water saturation.

What is the Leather Working Group (LWG)?

The Leather Working Group (LWG) is an organization that assesses and promotes environmental best practices within the leather manufacturing industry. PUMA's commitment means the leather used in these trainers comes from factories audited for their environmental responsibility.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers as it can damage the suede, leather, and sole construction.

What is the main difference between this retro version and the original?

This retro version revives the classic 1980s design but often features updated colorways and materials chosen for contemporary fashion appeal, while maintaining the core silhouette and terrace gum sole.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the Puma Palermo series is typically available in various colorways and material combinations. Please check the product listings for available options.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers are not waterproof. The suede and leather materials can be damaged by excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in one direction to lift the nap. For persistent marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner.

Leather formstrip is creased

Try gently conditioning the leather. You can also use a shoe tree to help maintain the shoe's shape.

Gum sole is scuffed

Use a damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution to gently scrub the affected area. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser might be effective but use with caution to avoid damaging the surrounding material.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. The leather and suede will naturally soften with use.
