FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the Speedcat OG trainers?

The Speedcat OG trainers are inspired by the slimline, fireproof styles of Formula 1 racing, first appearing in 1999.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of 'Ultra Suede', which is a type of suede leather with a napped finish.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are designed for style and comfort for casual wear, not for high-impact athletic activities.

How do I clean and care for the suede upper?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and dust removal. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and avoid excessive moisture. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

What is IMEVA technology?

IMEVA stands for 'Injection-Molded EVA'. It's Puma's signature material that provides a lightweight and comfortable feel in the midsole.

What does 'T-toe construction' mean?

T-toe construction refers to a specific design feature on the toe box of the shoe, shaped like a 'T', which is a classic element of this trainer's heritage design.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather as moisture can damage the material and cause staining.

Troubleshooting

Suede losing its texture or appearing matted.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush in one direction to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or cleaner specifically designed for suede.

Color transfer from suede to socks or other materials.

This can sometimes occur with new suede items. Ensure the shoes are dry before wearing and consider using a suede protectant spray, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Sole becoming slippery.

Clean the rubber sole with mild soap and water to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be causing slipperiness. Ensure the sole is completely dry before use.

Water damage or staining on the suede.

If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. For stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
