Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your PUMA Retaliate 2 Trainers:
Cleaning: For the textile upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For the rubber outsole, a soft brush can remove dirt and debris. Air dry completely at room temperature; do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally after use or cleaning. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with paper to help maintain their shape.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
