FAQs

Are the Puma Palermo trainers suitable for sports activities?

The Puma Palermo trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good traction and comfort for walking, they are not intended for high-impact sports or specialized athletic training.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to the Puma sizing chart available on the product page or the official Puma website. It typically provides measurements in centimeters or inches that correspond to UK sizes. Trying them on in-store is also recommended if possible.

Can I wash my Puma Palermo trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash suede and leather trainers as this can damage the materials, affect the shape, and compromise the adhesive. Spot cleaning and hand washing specific components are the preferred methods for care.

What does 'terrace gum sole' mean?

A 'terrace gum sole' refers to a durable, often light-colored rubber outsole that was popular on footwear worn by football fans attending matches in the 1970s and 80s. It provides good grip and a classic aesthetic.

How do I care for the suede material on the trainers?

Use a suede brush regularly to remove dust and dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions. Protect from excessive moisture and rain.

What is the main difference between this model and other Puma trainers?

The Puma Palermo stands out due to its specific heritage rooted in 1980s football culture, featuring a distinct silhouette, a classic gum sole, and often premium materials like suede. It bridges the gap between vintage athletic-inspired design and modern streetwear.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the Puma Palermo trainers are not waterproof. They are made from materials like suede and leather, which are not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears discolored or matted.

Allow the suede to dry completely. Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Gum sole is dirty and losing its white appearance.

Gently scrub the sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Unusual odor inside the trainers.

Remove the insoles if possible and air them out separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then tap out any residue. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.

Shoelaces are dirty.

Remove the laces and hand wash them with detergent or place them in a mesh bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle. Air dry.
