FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While they offer excellent grip and a secure fit for training, the Mostro OG Prime trainers are primarily designed for style and light athletic activities, not professional marathon running. Specialized running shoes are recommended for such events.
How do I determine my UK size?
Refer to the PUMA sizing chart, typically available on the product page or the PUMA website. The provided size is UK 8.5.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
The materials offer some resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they get wet.
What is the primary inspiration for the Mostro design?
The design is inspired by a combination of '60s sprinting shoe aesthetics and '80s surfing shoe elements.
How often should I clean the spiked outsole?
Clean the outsole after each significant use, especially if dirt or debris has accumulated in the spikes, to maintain optimal grip and prevent damage.
Is the hook-and-loop closure durable?
Yes, the hook-and-loop closure is designed for durability and ease of use. Regular cleaning will help maintain its effectiveness.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Athletic socks or trainer socks are recommended for comfort and to prevent chafing. Thin to medium-thickness socks work best with the snug fit.
Troubleshooting
Hook-and-loop closure losing stickiness
Clean both the hook and loop sides of the closure with a soft brush to remove lint and debris. If the issue persists, consider using a specialized hook-and-loop cleaner.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur with new rubber outsoles. Try walking on different surfaces to see if the noise subsides. Ensure no foreign objects are lodged in the outsole spikes.
Discomfort from the spiked outsole
Allow a break-in period of a few wears to get accustomed to the feel. If discomfort persists, these may not be the ideal shoe for your primary activity or foot type.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and air dry.
