FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Mostro's hook-and-loop system?
The hook-and-loop system offers a highly adjustable and secure fit that can be easily tightened or loosened, providing convenience and a personalized feel compared to traditional laces.
Are the PUMA Mostro trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by athletic shoes, the Mostro is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort for walking and light activities but may not provide the specialized support and cushioning needed for serious running.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to PUMA's official size guide, typically available on their website or product pages. Consider your usual shoe size and any specific fit notes for the Mostro series. It's advisable to measure your foot for accuracy.
Can I wash my Mostro trainers in a washing machine?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What does the 'Mostro' name mean?
Mostro is the Italian word for 'monster.' The name reflects the shoe's bold and distinctive design.
What is the benefit of the OrthoLite® sockliner?
The OrthoLite® sockliner provides long-term cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, contributing to overall comfort and foot health.
How does the Mostro's design combine different inspirations?
The Mostro is inspired by two distinct sports shoes: a sprint shoe from 1968 known for its speed and a surf shoe from the 1980s, blending elements of both for a unique sporty-lifestyle aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Hook-and-loop closure not sticking well
Ensure the Velcro surfaces are clean and free of lint or debris. A soft brush can help clean the hook and loop fasteners. If wear is significant, the adhesive may be failing.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the hook-and-loop straps for a more secure but not overly tight fit. Ensure socks are worn to prevent friction. Break in the shoes with short periods of wear initially.
Material scuffing or staining
Address stains promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, consider specific shoe cleaners designed for the materials used (textile, synthetic).
Reduced grip on the sole
Check the rubber tread for embedded debris and clean with a brush. If the sole appears worn down, grip may be naturally reduced due to age and use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The PUMA Mostro trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the hook-and-loop straps are adjusted for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear. They pair well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, or tracksuits. While inspired by sport, they are best suited for lifestyle and light athletic activities rather than high-impact sports.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Mostro trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Sole: A damp cloth or a soft brush can be used to clean the rubber components. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Sockliner: The OrthoLite® sockliner can typically be removed for separate cleaning if needed, following similar gentle cleaning methods. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
