FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the Mostro OG design?

The PUMA Mostro OG is a hybrid design, drawing inspiration from the sleek sprinting spikes of the 1960s and the functional surfing shoes of the 1980s, creating a unique, avant-garde aesthetic.

Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic training?

While inspired by athletic shoe designs, the Mostro OG is primarily a fashion sneaker. Its unique sole is best suited for casual wear and urban environments, not for high-impact sports or traditional athletic training.

How do I clean the unique spiked sole?

Use a small brush to remove any debris caught between the spikes. You can then wipe the sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What does 'Mostro' mean?

'Mostro' is the Italian word for 'monster,' reflecting the shoe's unconventional and striking design that defies norms.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, these sneakers are designed to be worn with socks. The type of socks you choose can also complement the overall style.

How durable is the spiked sole?

The spiked sole is designed for durability during regular wear and provides good traction. However, like all shoe soles, excessive wear or exposure to abrasive surfaces can impact longevity.

Does this shoe come in other colors?

The PUMA Mostro OG series has been released in various colorways over time. Please check available listings for current color options. This guide specifically refers to the Intense Lavender/Silver variant.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size. The unique sole design may feel different initially.

Spikes on the sole are dirty or clogged

Use a small brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently clean out any debris stuck between the spikes. A damp cloth can then be used to wipe the sole clean.

Scuff marks on the upper material

For minor scuffs, try using a damp cloth and gentle rubbing. For more persistent marks, a specialized shoe cleaner or eraser suitable for the material may be required.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly. If they are slippery, consider using a different lacing technique or a lace lock if available.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your PUMA Mostro OG sneakers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the upper. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
  2. Sole Care: Clean the spiked sole with a brush to remove debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can distort the shape or damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their form.
