FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Puma Palermo Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and urban exploration. While they offer comfort for walking, they do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for intense running activities.
What material are the Puma Palermo Trainers made of?
The upper material is primarily leather, complemented by textile elements for breathability and comfort. The sole is made of rubber.
How do I determine the correct size?
These are unisex trainers. It's recommended to consult the PUMA sizing chart and measure your foot length in centimeters or inches to find the best UK size equivalent. Pay attention to the specific sizing notes for UK sizes.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, cushioning, and overall structure of the trainers.
Are the purple trainers a bright or muted shade?
The product description indicates a 'Purple' color family. For exact shade details, it is best to refer to product images or customer reviews if available, as color perception can vary.
What is the main advantage of the low silhouette?
The low silhouette offers a sleek, streamlined aesthetic that is fashionable for casual wear and provides good ankle mobility.
How long does the comfortable cushioning typically last?
The cushioning is designed for durability in casual use. With proper care and regular wear for walking and daily activities, it should provide comfort for a significant period, though its effectiveness may gradually decrease with extensive, heavy use over time.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit upon first wear
Loosen the laces and wear with comfortable socks for a short period. The leather may stretch slightly with use.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts. Check if the insole is correctly positioned. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Discoloration on leather
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner designed for the specific color. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the cushioning is designed for durability, significant compression may occur with prolonged heavy use. Consider using aftermarket insoles for added support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Puma Palermo Trainers require no assembly. Upon receiving the shoes, ensure they fit correctly before wearing them outdoors. Adjust the classic lacing system for a snug and comfortable fit.

Care:
- Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect the material and shape.
