FAQs

Are the Puma Palermo trainers suitable for sports?

While inspired by football culture, the Palermo is a lifestyle trainer designed for casual streetwear, not for high-intensity athletic performance.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Always verify your size based on the UK sizing standard provided for the specific MPN, as the Palermo series fits true to standard casual shoe sizing.

Is the leather used ethically sourced?

Yes, Puma's leather products support responsible manufacturing through the Leather Working Group.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesive on the gum sole. Always clean by hand.

What is the inspiration behind the Palermo line?

The line was inspired by the terrace crowd at 1980s football stadiums, capturing the essence of European football fashion.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on the leather surface

Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of leather cleaner to gently buff out the scuff.

Gum sole losing its grip

Clean the bottom of the soles with warm soapy water and a scrub brush to remove built-up dust and grime.

Creasing in the toe box area

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Puma Palermo trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care steps:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris from the leather upper.
  2. Stain Removal: Use a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner for spot cleaning. Avoid soaking the leather.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather cracking.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying.
  5. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lace-up closure. Ensure you choose the correct UK sizing, as the fit is specific to the Palermo series mold.
