FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

The PUMA Suede Classic Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not offer the specialized cushioning or support required for high-impact sports.

How do I clean the PUMA Formstrip?

The leather PUMA Formstrip can be wiped gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the leather.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. The suede and lining will gradually conform to the shape of your foot.

Laces are worn or damaged

Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and color. You can find replacements at most shoe stores or online.

Water spots on suede

Allow the shoes to air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to blend the texture. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future water spots.
