FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Mostro OG Prime design?

The Puma Mostro OG Prime draws inspiration from the distinctive styles of '60s sprinting spikes and '80s surf shoes, creating a unique hybrid aesthetic.

How do I adjust the fit of these trainers?

The trainers feature an elasticated hook-and-loop strap that allows you to easily adjust and secure the fit to your preference.

Are the spiked soles suitable for running on a track?

The spiked outsole provides excellent grip on various surfaces, but it's best suited for light athletic activities and urban exploration. For formal track running, specialized spikes may be more appropriate. Always test on a small area first.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

While the textile upper offers some breathability, the spiked outsole is optimized for dry traction. They are not ideal for very wet or slippery conditions, and prolonged exposure to heavy moisture should be avoided.

What is Ortholite cushioning?

Ortholite is a brand of cushioning material used in footwear, known for providing long-lasting comfort, breathability, and moisture management.

How do I clean the spiked rubber outsole?

Use a soft brush to gently remove dirt and debris from the spikes. Ensure the spikes are clear to maintain their intended grip.

What does 'Mostro' mean?

'Mostro' is the Italian word for 'monster', reflecting the shoe's unconventional and bold design.

Troubleshooting

Hook-and-loop strap losing adhesion

Clean both the hook and loop sides of the strap with a stiff brush to remove any trapped debris. Ensure the strap is properly aligned when fastening.

Discomfort from spiked outsole

Ensure you are using the trainers on appropriate surfaces. If discomfort persists on suitable surfaces, check for any embedded objects in the spikes or consider if the shoe fit is correct. Ortholite cushioning provides comfort, but the spiked sole has a distinct feel.

Difficulty achieving a snug fit

Adjust the hook-and-loop strap to your preferred tightness. Ensure your foot is positioned correctly within the shoe before securing the strap.

Worn-out appearance on textile upper

Gently clean the upper using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid over-scrubbing. Regular, gentle cleaning will help maintain appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Puma Mostro OG Prime trainers require no specific setup. Simply lace them up or adjust the hook-and-loop strap for a secure and comfortable fit before wearing.

Compatibility:

These trainers are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities. The spiked outsole provides excellent grip on most dry surfaces, including pavement, concrete, and some athletic tracks. However, due to the nature of the spikes, they are not recommended for use on polished floors, delicate indoor surfaces, or where the spikes might cause damage or reduce traction (e.g., very wet or slippery smooth surfaces).

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the textile and synthetic upper with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: Use a soft brush to gently remove dirt and debris from the spiked outsole. Ensure spikes are clear to maintain optimal grip.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
