FAQs

Are the Puma Palermo trainers suitable for running or sports?

The Puma Palermo trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and streetwear. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not engineered with the specialized support or cushioning required for intense athletic activities like running or professional sports.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the PUMA sizing chart, typically found on the product page or the brand's official website. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately, especially considering the UK sizing provided.

Can I wash my suede Palermo trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended for suede footwear as it can damage the material, alter its texture, and affect the color.

What does 'terrace' refer to in the product description?

In the context of football culture, 'terrace' refers to the standing areas at football stadiums where these types of casual shoes became popular among fans in the 1980s.

Is the suede used responsibly sourced?

PUMA's leather products, including those made of suede, support responsible manufacturing via the Leather Working Group (LWG). Their website provides more details on their sustainability initiatives.

How should I store my Puma Palermo trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using the original shoe box or a dust bag is recommended to protect them from dust and potential damage.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or consult a specialized shoe cleaner for suede.

Laces are worn or dirty

Replace laces with new ones. Clean existing laces by hand-washing with mild soap and water, then air drying.

Gum sole has scuff marks

Gently rub scuff marks with a magic eraser or a damp cloth. Be careful not to damage the suede upper.

Shoes feel tight after initial wear

Suede can stretch slightly over time. Wear them for short periods initially or consider using shoe stretchers designed for leather and suede.
