FAQs

What is the origin of the Puma Palermo design?

The Puma Palermo trainers first appeared in the 1980s and were popular among football fans. This version is a modern revival for streetwear.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of white leather, with a suede overlay on the T-toe area.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

The Palermo is designed for casual wear and streetwear. While the gum sole offers good traction, it is not optimized for intense athletic activities.

How do I clean the white leather and suede parts?

Use a damp cloth for the leather and a suede brush for the suede. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Specialized leather and suede cleaners can also be used.

What does 'responsible manufacturing via the Leather Working Group' mean?

It means Puma sources its leather from tanneries that are audited and adhere to environmental best practices established by the Leather Working Group.

Are there other colorways available?

Yes, the Puma Palermo series is available in various colorways. This guide focuses on the white variant, but other options exist.

What size should I order if I'm unsure?

It's recommended to check the Puma sizing guide or try them on if possible, as sizing can vary between models and brands.

Troubleshooting

Tread wear on gum sole

Gum soles are designed for grip and style, but may show wear over time with heavy use. This is normal for this material. For extended wear, consider rotating with other footwear.

Leather creasing

Some creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Color transfer from Formstrip

While unlikely, if the black Formstrip shows signs of color transfer, ensure the shoes are dry and clean any affected areas gently with a damp cloth.

Care:
