Converse US 10 is 27.4 cm here; Puma’s nearest US is 10 (EU 44). At 10.5 Converse is 27.8 cm and the nearest Puma becomes US 11 (EU 45). Same pattern as Converse→Reebok: Chuck’s centimeter at a given US is long, so a 1:1 US match at size 10 can still hide a stair-step at 10.5.
Suede Classic and Palermo are terrace/lifestyle Puma lasts — closer to a Gazelle conversation than to Chuck’s long canvas. If you already size Chuck down because it runs long, converting “Chuck 10 → Puma 10” from the tongue (not from 27.4 cm) may leave the Puma short. Prefer the cm column or your Dunk/Club C size as the Puma starting point.
Between Converse 10 and 10.5 this table may hand you Puma 10 or 11. That is a chart stair, not a verdict that Palermo runs big. Start at the Puma US beside your measured cm, then use the Suede/Palermo guides for suede stretch and snug toeboxes.
Even when charts match, lasts differ. Check these guides:
Converse: Chuck Taylor All Star High · Chuck 70 High
Puma: Suede Classic · Palermo
