The Puma Retaliate 2 Trainers are engineered to offer a balanced experience for both active individuals and those seeking comfortable everyday footwear. For running, the compression moulded EVA midsole provides crucial lightweight cushioning, absorbing the impact of each stride and returning energy to help maintain momentum. The grippy zoned rubber outsole offers essential traction, ensuring stable footing on pavement or indoor surfaces, allowing for confidence during runs or gym sessions. The flatlock stitching reduces internal friction, a significant benefit for runners looking to minimize chafing over longer distances.
For everyday wear, the padded ankle collar ensures all-day comfort, making these trainers suitable for extended periods on your feet. The heel and tongue pull tabs simplify the process of putting them on and taking them off, which is convenient for a busy lifestyle. Their classic design with signature Puma branding also makes them a stylish complement to casual outfits. These trainers excel as a go-to option for light jogging, walking, gym workouts, or simply as comfortable and durable casual shoes.

Proper care helps maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
Cleaning: For the textile upper and lining, gently wipe any dirt or grime with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Odor Control: To prevent odors, allow trainers to air out after each use. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes periodically.
