FAQs

Are the PUMA Speedcat OG trainers suitable for running?

The Speedcat OG trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, drawing inspiration from motorsport. While they offer comfort and support for walking, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities like running and may not provide the necessary cushioning or stability.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner is recommended, always following the product's instructions. It’s advisable to protect the suede with a waterproofing spray designed for footwear.

What does IMEVA stand for and what is its benefit?

IMEVA stands for 'Injection Molded Ethyl Vinyl Acetate'. It is PUMA's material for creating the midsole, offering a lightweight and comfortable feel with good cushioning properties.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather components offer some protection, suede is sensitive to moisture. It is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat and consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water.

What is the primary inspiration behind the Speedcat OG design?

The Speedcat OG design is rooted in classic PUMA racing shoes and Formula 1 culture, aiming to bring iconic motorsport aesthetics to everyday streetwear.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The Speedcat OG features a relatively standard fit. Customers with wider feet may find them snug, especially given the low-profile design. Trying them on or consulting customer reviews regarding fit for wider feet is recommended.

What is the lifespan of these trainers?

The lifespan depends on usage frequency and care. With proper maintenance and regular cleaning, the durable leather, suede, and rubber construction can provide extended wear for casual use.

Troubleshooting

Suede becoming stiff or discolored

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner and always test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture.

Reduced grip on the outsole

Clean the rubber outsole with water and a mild brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with wear. To minimize deep creases, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid bending the shoes unnaturally.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove the laces and wash them separately by hand with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
