FAQs
How do I clean the white leather parts of my PUMA Palermo Leo sneakers?
Gently wipe the leather surfaces with a clean, soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt or stains, use a specialized leather sneaker cleaner applied according to its instructions. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Can these sneakers be worn in the rain?
While the leather offers some protection, it's best to avoid heavy rain as prolonged exposure to moisture can damage both leather and suede. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat.
Are PUMA Palermo Leo sneakers true to size?
Yes, PUMA Palermo Leo sneakers typically fit true to size. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size. For UK 13, this should provide a comfortable fit.
What materials are these sneakers made from?
These sneakers are crafted with a genuine leather base and feature suede overlays, providing a premium feel and classic aesthetic. The sole is made of durable rubber.
How do I care for the suede sections of the sneakers?
Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For more stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be used. Always test any cleaning products on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities?
No, the PUMA Palermo Leo sneakers are designed as lifestyle and casual footwear. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities, running, or intense sports.
How can I prevent my white sneakers from yellowing over time?
To help prevent yellowing, store your sneakers in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Regular cleaning and applying a protective spray can also contribute to maintaining their original white color.
Troubleshooting
White areas appear dirty or scuffed quickly
Regularly wipe the leather with a damp cloth or use a specialized white sneaker cleaner. For scuffs, a gentle eraser or magic sponge can sometimes help. Applying a protective spray can reduce frequency of cleaning.
Suede looks matted, dusty, or has light stains
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently clean off surface dust and restore the nap. For light stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Brush consistently in one direction.
Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Leather sneakers often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot's shape. Ensure you have the correct size.
Leather starts to crease
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear with wear. To minimize deep creases, use shoe trees when storing your sneakers and avoid forcing them onto your feet. Moisturizing leather with a suitable conditioner can also help maintain suppleness.

Care Instructions
Maintaining the pristine look of your white leather and suede sneakers is key. Follow these steps for optimal care:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather and suede footwear. This creates a protective barrier against spills and dirt.
- Regular Cleaning (Leather): For the leather sections, gently wipe down with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and light dirt. For tougher marks, use a mild leather cleaner applied with a microfibre cloth, following the product's instructions.
- Regular Cleaning (Suede): For suede overlays, use a specialized suede brush to gently brush off dry dirt and restore the material's nap. Brush in one direction to maintain consistency.
- Stain Treatment: Address stains on both leather and suede immediately. For leather, a leather-specific spot cleaner can be effective. For suede, a suede eraser can help lift marks. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them loosely with unprinted paper (like newspaper or paper towels) to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help preserve their shape and absorb residual moisture, preventing creasing and odors. Avoid storing in airtight containers which can trap humidity.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash your leather and suede sneakers, as this can cause irreversible damage to the materials and construction.
