Care & Maintenance:
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your PUMA Palermo Vintage sneakers:
Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a reputable suede and textile protector spray. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
Regular Cleaning:
Suede Areas: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a specialized suede cleaner can be used following product instructions.
Textile Upper: Gently spot clean with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Gum Sole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild dish soap to remove dirt and scuff marks.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
