FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
PUMA generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are unsure, please refer to a PUMA size guide.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
While the leather offers some resistance, these sneakers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, especially for the suede components. Using a water repellent spray can offer additional protection.
What materials are used in the PUMA Palermo Leo Sneakers?
These sneakers feature a durable leather base combined with soft suede overlays, providing both structure and textural detail.
How do I clean the white soles?
The rubber soles can be cleaned effectively with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution or a specialized sneaker sole cleaner. A magic eraser can also be very effective for removing scuffs.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The PUMA Palermo Leo Sneakers are designed with a standard fit. For individuals with wider feet, they might feel snug initially, but the leather may stretch slightly with wear. We recommend trying them on to assess comfort.
Do the colours fade over time?
The white colour is generally stable, but direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight can potentially cause slight yellowing over many years. Proper storage away from direct light helps preserve the colour.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers appear dirty or stained after wear.
For leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a suede eraser and brush to remove marks and restore the nap. Regular cleaning after each use helps prevent build-up.
Suede looks matted or flattened.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. This helps to lift the fibers and restore the original texture.
Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Wear them for short periods at first to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot. This 'break-in' period is common with leather footwear.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the sneakers.
Remove insoles and allow them to air out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and leave overnight. Ensure sneakers are completely dry before storage.
Scratches or scuffs appear on the leather.
For light scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a small amount of petroleum jelly on a soft cloth to gently buff the area. For deeper scratches, professional leather repair may be needed.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the pristine look of your PUMA Palermo Leo Sneakers, especially given their white colour and material combination.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede. This creates an invisible barrier against spills and dirt.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently brush off any loose dirt or dust using a soft-bristled brush (a dedicated sneaker brush or soft toothbrush works well).
- Spot Cleaning: For small marks on the leather base, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the area, then follow with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue. For suede overlays, use a specific suede eraser to lift marks and restore the nap, followed by a suede brush.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution. Follow the product's instructions carefully, ensuring it is safe for both leather and suede. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and light.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Never put leather or suede sneakers in a washing machine, as this can cause irreversible damage to the materials, shape, and adhesives.
