FAQs

Are the PUMA Speedcat OG trainers suitable for running?

The Speedcat OG trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, inspired by motorsport aesthetics. They offer comfort for walking and daily activities but are not designed for high-impact running or athletic training due to their low-profile nature and construction.

How should I clean the leather and suede parts of the shoe?

For leather, use a soft, damp cloth. For suede, use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede cleaner for stains, following product instructions. Avoid excessive water on suede.

What does 'OG' stand for in Speedcat OG?

'OG' typically stands for 'Original'. In this context, it signifies that the Speedcat OG is a revival or re-release of the original iconic PUMA Speedcat shoe design from 1999.

Do these trainers offer good ankle support?

The Speedcat OG features a low-profile silhouette, which means they provide minimal ankle support. They are best suited for users who do not require significant ankle stability during their activities.

What is IMEVA?

IMEVA stands for 'Injection-Molded Ethylene Vinyl Acetate'. It's a lightweight foam material used by PUMA in midsoles to provide cushioning and durability without adding significant weight to the shoe.

Are these trainers unisex?

While this specific product is listed as 'Male' in some variations, the iconic Speedcat silhouette is often embraced across genders. Check the specific product listing for gender designation. However, the style itself is widely considered unisex for fashion purposes.

What is the 'Formstrip' on the shoe?

The PUMA Formstrip is a signature design element, a curved stripe typically found on the side of PUMA shoes. On the Speedcat OG, it's often a contrasting color or material, signifying the shoe's PUMA heritage.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider using thicker socks or trying an alternative insole if the issue persists.

Suede material appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water on suede whenever possible.

Laces becoming worn or damaged

Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Ensure new laces are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid stress on the eyelets.

Slight color transfer from Formstrip or embroidery

This can occur with new shoes. Allow the shoes to air out. If the issue persists, it may be a characteristic of the materials used. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until any potential transfer subsides.
