FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
The PUMA Mostro Trainers are primarily designed for style and casual wear. While they offer a unique aesthetic and decent grip, they are not intended for high-impact sports or professional athletic training.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the PUMA sizing chart available on the product page or retailer's website. The provided size is UK 8.5, and it's recommended to compare your foot measurements to the chart for the best fit.
What inspired the design of the Mostro?
The Mostro design is a hybrid that draws inspiration from the sleek sprinting spikes of the 1960s and the surf shoes of the 1980s, creating a distinctive, sculptural look.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage and ensure comfort.
What does 'Mostro' mean?
'Mostro' is the Italian word for 'monster,' referencing the shoe's distinctive and bold design.
How do I care for the spiked sole?
Gently brush away dirt and debris with a soft brush. Avoid using water or cleaning agents directly on the spikes unless necessary, and ensure they are dried thoroughly afterwards.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the PUMA Mostro series is available in various colorways. Please check the PUMA website or authorized retailers for the full range of available options.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit during initial wear
The Mostro trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they mold to your feet.
Difficulty cleaning the spiked sole
Use a small, stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently dislodge dirt from between the spikes. Follow up with a damp cloth if necessary.
Color transfer onto socks
This can sometimes occur with new, dark-colored footwear. Washing socks before first wear or ensuring the trainers are fully dry can help mitigate this. If persistent, consider using a shoe protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first).
