FAQs
What does 'Mostro' mean?
'Mostro' is the Italian word for monster, reflecting the shoe's bold and experimental design upon its initial launch.
What inspired the PUMA Mostro OG design?
The design is a hybrid, drawing inspiration from the sleek sprinting spikes of the 1960s and the relaxed surf shoes of the 1980s.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by performance footwear, the Mostro OG is primarily a lifestyle trainer designed for style and comfort during everyday activities, not high-intensity running.
How do I adjust the fit with the elastic strap?
The elastic strap provides a secure fit. You simply slide your foot in, and the strap conforms. There are no adjustments to make on the strap itself, beyond ensuring your foot is well-positioned.
What materials are the PUMA Mostro OG made from?
The shoes typically feature a mesh upper, a Lycra lining, and a rubber outsole.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, you can wear them with or without socks, depending on your preference. The Lycra lining offers comfort either way.
How does the sizing run for the Mostro OG?
These are unisex trainers. It's recommended to consult the PUMA sizing chart for the most accurate fit, especially when converting between international sizes.
Troubleshooting
Strap feels too tight or too loose
The elastic strap is designed to provide a snug fit. If it feels too tight, try adjusting its position slightly. If it feels loose, ensure your foot is positioned correctly within the shoe before securing the strap. For persistent issues, consider if the size is appropriate.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent diluted in water and spot clean, then allow to air dry.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For new shoes, a break-in period might be needed. If slippage persists on very smooth surfaces, consider the intended use of the shoe.
