The Puma Retaliate 2 Trainers are engineered for adaptability, making them suitable for various scenarios. For daily runs, the compression moulded EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning that absorbs impact, ensuring comfort over short to moderate distances.

Setup:
Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets. Adjust the tension evenly across your foot for a snug, yet comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation, or leaving too loose, which can cause instability.
Pull Tabs: Utilize the heel and tongue pull tabs to assist in putting on the trainers, preventing damage to the heel collar and ensuring a smooth entry for your foot.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for adult male feet, available in various UK sizes. Always refer to your standard shoe size for the best fit.
They are suitable for a wide range of activities including running (daily, recreational), casual wear, and light athletic activities.
Care:
Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the textile upper with a clean, damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the fabric. Let them air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Sole Care: Clean the rubber outsole regularly to remove dirt, pebbles, or mud that could impact traction.
Drying: Never machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Odor Control: To prevent odors, remove insoles after particularly sweaty activities and allow both the insoles and trainers to air out. Consider using shoe deodorizers if needed.
