FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
No, the Speedcat OG is designed as a lifestyle shoe. It lacks the impact protection and stability required for running.
Do these shoes run true to size?
They generally run true to size, but because of the slim, narrow construction, those with wider feet may prefer to size up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machines will ruin the suede material. Stick to hand-cleaning with specialized suede products.
What is the primary material?
The upper is crafted primarily from premium suede with a rubber outsole.
Are these suitable for driving?
Yes, their design is directly inspired by motorsport footwear, making them excellent for driving due to their slim profile and flexible sole.
Is the branding metallic?
Yes, the 'PUMA' branding on the lateral side and tongue is featured in metallic gold lettering.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks worn or flattened
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean eraser to gently buff the nap of the suede back to its original texture.
Difficulty keeping the shoes clean
Avoid water-based cleaners. Stick to dry brushing and use a specialized suede eraser for spot cleaning stubborn marks.
Laces coming undone frequently
The round laces can sometimes be slippery; consider a double-knot or replacing them with a slightly flatter textured lace for better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Speedcat OG is a classic, slim-fitting sneaker, it is compatible with most casual and semi-casual wardrobes. To ensure longevity, keep the following care tips in mind:
- Suede Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to remove dust and dirt. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can discolor the material.
- Moisture Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede before your first use to guard against unexpected spills or rain.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black dye in the suede over time.
- Fit Tips: If you find the fit too snug, try wearing thinner socks to accommodate the narrow profile of the shoe.
