Product Information

Full details

The Puma Palermo Classic Trainers are designed for active kids who need a reliable, stylish shoe for everyday wear. Rooted in 1980s terrace culture, these trainers provide a durable build and low-top flexibility that supports all-day movement and play. While they offer excellent versatility for school or casual outings, their classic gum sole construction is best suited for paved surfaces and standard playground environments rather than intense athletic training.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running sports?

While durable enough for casual play and walking, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers and not as technical running shoes.

Can these be worn at school?

Yes, their clean lines and classic look make them an excellent choice for a school uniform or casual day-to-day wear.

How do I determine the right size?

These trainers follow standard UK children's sizing; it is recommended to leave about half an inch of room for growth.

What material is the sole made of?

The outsole features the signature durable gum rubber sole known for its grip.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the glue and structure of the trainers.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight after long periods of wear

Ensure that the laces are adjusted to allow for natural foot swelling that occurs throughout the day.

Visible scuffs on the upper

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a damp cloth with gentle soap to carefully remove surface marks.

Laces coming untied too often

Consider a double knot if the child is finding that the standard loops are loosening during heavy activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Puma Palermo trainers looking their best, we recommend spot-cleaning the upper with a soft cloth and mild soap when necessary. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the materials and the gum sole bond. For the best fit, ensure you are using the correct UK size, as the low-top cut works best when the heel is secure and not slipping. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from stiffening.
