FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Puma Palermo Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and streetwear. They offer a classic aesthetic and basic comfort but lack the specialized cushioning and support needed for serious running or athletic training.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently clean suede areas and maintain their texture. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'responsibly made by the Leather Working Group' mean?
This means that the leather used in the trainers comes from tanneries audited by the Leather Working Group, which assesses their environmental impact and encourages sustainable practices.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, the trainers are not waterproof. The suede details can be particularly susceptible to water damage and staining. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for leather and suede.
What is the difference between the Palermo and other Puma trainers?
The Palermo is a heritage model from the 1980s, characterized by its classic terrace-inspired design, gum sole, and specific material combinations like leather and suede. Other Puma trainers may feature more modern designs, advanced athletic technologies, or different material compositions.
How should I store my Puma Palermo Trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
What size should I order?
Refer to the size chart provided by Puma. These trainers are listed in UK adult sizes. Ensure you measure your foot correctly or consult the product's specific sizing guide.
Troubleshooting
Suede looking dull or marked
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove dry dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Leather scuffs or minor scratches
For minor scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a matching color polish. For deeper scratches, professional leather repair might be necessary.
Soles accumulating dirt
Use a soft brush and mild soap with water to clean the rubber sole. Ensure they are dry before storing.
Laces fraying
Replace the laces with new ones of similar length and material. Puma or general shoe retailers offer replacement laces.
