Product Information
Full details
The PUMA Palermo trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of iconic football heritage and modern streetwear style. Their key benefit lies in combining timeless aesthetics with comfortable wear for everyday use. A potential caveat is that the gum sole, while providing traction, may wear more visibly with aggressive street use. These trainers feature a premium leather upper, a distinctive gum rubber sole for grip, and subtle Palermo branding, making them a versatile addition to any casual wardrobe.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?
The PUMA Palermo trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and streetwear. While they offer good traction for walking, they are not intended for high-impact sports or professional athletic training.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the PUMA sizing chart for accurate measurements. These trainers are listed in UK adult sizes. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately for the best fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but the gum sole is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Using a leather protectant spray can improve water resistance.
What is the origin of the PUMA Palermo trainers?
The PUMA Palermo trainers originally appeared in the 1980s and were popular within football culture, particularly among terrace fans. They have been reissued for the modern streetwear scene.
How should I store my Palermo trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
What does 'responsible manufacturing' mean for the leather?
PUMA's commitment to responsible manufacturing means their leather products are made with materials sourced from tanneries that undergo regular audits and adhere to environmental best practices, supported by the Leather Working Group (LWG).
Troubleshooting
Discoloration on gum sole
Gently clean the gum sole with a damp cloth or a specialized sole cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials.
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Uneven wear on sole
Ensure proper gait and consider rotating footwear to distribute wear. Significant unevenness may indicate a need for professional assessment.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult wear and pair well with a wide range of casual clothing, including jeans, shorts, casual trousers, and casual dresses.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth.
- Cleaning the Gum Sole: A damp cloth or a soft brush can be used to clean the gum sole. Avoid harsh chemicals, which could discolor or damage the rubber.
- Suede Accents (if applicable to specific colorways): Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain the texture. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner may be required.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to help repel water and stains, especially for lighter colorways.
