FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Puma Palermo trainers are designed as lifestyle sneakers. While they offer comfort and traction for walking, they are not intended for high-impact running or athletic training.

What is the main difference between the leather and suede parts?

The main body of the shoe features a leather base for durability and structure, while suede overlays are used for aesthetic detailing and texture.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided by Puma, paying close attention to the UK sizing. This model is available in UK adult sizes.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and adhesives, compromising the shoe's structure and appearance.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these?

You can wear any type of sock depending on your preference. For comfort, breathable cotton or athletic socks are good choices. Consider darker socks if you are concerned about potential color transfer from the suede.

What does 'T-construction' refer to?

T-construction refers to a classic design element originating from vintage football shoes, characterized by a stitched T-shape on the toe box area.

Where can I find other colorways or sizes?

Other colorways and sizes for the Puma Palermo series can be found by checking the 'variant siblings' section or searching for 'Puma Palermo' with your desired specifications.

Troubleshooting

Suede looking matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions.

Leather creasing excessively

Ensure proper fit. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape and reduce creasing. Condition the leather regularly.

Outsole losing grip

Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be affecting traction. Inspect for excessive wear.

Color transfer from suede to socks

This can sometimes occur with new suede items. It may reduce over time with wear. Consider wearing darker socks initially.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from suede and leather. For stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes.
