FAQs
Are the Puma Palermo trainers suitable for sports?
The Puma Palermo trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While the gum sole offers good grip for everyday activities, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
What is the best way to clean the gum sole?
The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution or a specialized sole cleaner can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the PUMA official size guide available on their website. It's also recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the size chart. Trying them on in person is the most reliable method if possible.
Can I wash my leather trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash leather trainers. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth and appropriate leather care products. Avoid soaking the shoes.
What does 'terrace' style mean?
The 'terrace' style refers to a fashion trend that emerged in the late 1970s and 1980s, particularly among football fans in the UK. Trainers associated with this style are typically simple, durable, and often feature a gum sole, prioritizing comfort and practicality for stadium terraces and casual wear.
Do these trainers support responsible manufacturing?
Yes, PUMA's leather products, including the Palermo trainers, support responsible manufacturing via the Leather Working Group (LWG), which promotes environmental best practices within the leather industry.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels inaccurate
Consult the PUMA size guide and consider trying on different sizes if possible. Foot width can also influence fit; ensure the trainers are not too tight across the width.
Leather appears creased or scuffed
Minor creases are normal for leather. For scuffs, try a leather cleaner or polish suitable for the shoe's colour. Consistent wear will naturally break in the leather.
Gum sole discolouration
Use a specialized sole cleaner or a magic eraser gently on the gum sole. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight which can cause yellowing.
Initial stiffness
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Socks can also help prevent rubbing during the break-in period.
