FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the Speedcat OG?

The PUMA Speedcat OG is inspired by the slimline, fireproof styles of Formula 1 racing, originally launching in 1999.

What materials are used in the Speedcat OG trainers?

The trainers feature an 'Ultra Suede' upper with a napped finish, a premium leather upper, an IMEVA midsole, and a rubber outsole. They also include a Softform+ footbed for cushioning.

Are these shoes suitable for actual racing or athletic training?

No, the Speedcat OG is designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear and motorsport-inspired style. It is not intended for intense athletic training or professional racing.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a specialized suede brush to maintain the nap and remove dirt. A suede eraser can be used for stains. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The Speedcat OG features a Softform+ footbed for contemporary cushioning, which provides comfort for daily wear. However, they are a low-profile shoe and may not offer the same level of structured arch support as specialized athletic footwear.

What does 'Ultra Suede' mean?

'Ultra Suede' refers to a type of synthetic suede material that offers a soft, napped finish similar to natural suede, often providing durability and ease of care.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather and rubber components offer some protection, the suede upper is susceptible to water damage and staining. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Suede looking matted or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.

Leather parts scuffed

For minor scuffs, try a leather cleaner or conditioner. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair kit might be necessary.

Shoe feels tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider wearing thinner socks or trying to break in the shoes with moderate wear. If still uncomfortable, consider alternative sizing if available.

Discoloration from water exposure

Minimize exposure to water, especially on the suede components. If wet, allow shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Water-repellent sprays can help prevent future issues.

Care:
