These PUMA Retaliate Trainers are engineered for a balanced performance, making them suitable for a dual role in your footwear collection. For running, the compression moulded EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning that absorbs impact, supporting your feet during moderate jogs or short to mid-distance runs.

The grippy zoned rubber outsole ensures reliable traction on standard paved surfaces or gym floors, giving you confidence with every stride.
In everyday scenarios, the padded ankle collar and soft textile lining offer superior comfort for extended wear, whether you're commuting, running errands, or simply enjoying a casual day out. The heel and tongue pull tabs make them quick to slip on and off, ideal for busy mornings or after a workout. Their classic white design with signature PUMA branding integrates seamlessly into a variety of casual outfits, providing a stylish yet functional option.

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, gently wipe the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the rubber outsole, a brush can help remove embedded dirt.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the materials and adhesive bonds of the trainers.
