FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

The Puma Speedcat OG Trainers are inspired by motorsport and designed primarily for casual wear and street style. While comfortable for everyday walking, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports activities.

How do I determine my size?

Puma Speedcat OG Trainers typically run true to size, but their slim profile might feel snug. If you often wear a half size or prefer a roomier fit, consider going up half a size. Refer to Puma's official sizing chart for the most accurate recommendation.

What does IMEVA mean?

IMEVA stands for 'Injection Molded EVA.' It is a lightweight, responsive material used in the midsole of the shoe to provide cushioning and comfort for daily wear.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

Given the premium suede and leather upper, it's best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage or stain the material. Applying a protective water-repellent spray designed for suede and leather can offer some protection.

How do I clean the white Formstrip and rubber sole?

For the white Formstrip, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution and wipe gently. The rubber sole can be cleaned with a brush and soapy water to remove dirt and grime.

What is the Leather Working Group?

The Leather Working Group (LWG) is a non-profit organization that assesses and certifies leather manufacturers based on their environmental performance, promoting sustainable and responsible practices within the leather industry. Puma's support means their leather products contribute to these efforts.

Are these trainers unisex?

While the product attributes may list a specific gender, the Puma Speedcat OG's classic design is widely considered unisex and can be stylishly worn by anyone who appreciates its aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or has minor scuffs.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove superficial marks. For stubborn scuffs, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable during initial wear.

The Speedcat OG has a slim profile. Allow for a short break-in period (a few wears) as the premium materials will mold to your feet. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size; consider trying half a size up if they feel consistently restrictive.

Stains or water spots on the suede upper.

For fresh water spots, dab gently with a clean, dry cloth immediately. For dried stains, try a suede eraser. If severe, professional cleaning may be required. Prevention with a good quality water and stain repellent spray is highly recommended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless and sleek style that seamlessly blends motorsport aesthetics with streetwear fashion.
  • Comfortable for everyday wear thanks to the lightweight IMEVA midsole.
  • Premium suede and leather materials offer a sophisticated look and feel.
  • Strong heritage appeal, connecting to racing culture and iconic fashion.

Cons

  • May feel narrow for wider feet due to its slim silhouette.

Setup & First Wear:

Upon receiving your Speedcat OG trainers, simply lace them up to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. The premium materials may require a short break-in period to conform to your foot's unique shape.

Compatibility:

These trainers are highly versatile and complement a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They pair well with denim, chinos, track pants, and even some tailored trousers for a contemporary look. Their brown and white colorway offers classic appeal, easily matching various color palettes.

Care & Maintenance:

Maintaining the premium suede and leather is crucial for longevity:

  1. Cleaning Suede:
  • Use a soft brush (a dedicated suede brush is ideal) to gently remove loose dirt and dust.
  • For tougher spots, use a suede eraser to rub away marks.
  • Avoid using water directly on suede, as it can stain. If necessary, use a damp cloth very sparingly and allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
  1. Cleaning Leather:
  • Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
  • For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
  • Condition the leather periodically to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
  1. General Care:
  • Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the suede.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for suede and leather to add a layer of protection against moisture and stains.
