FAQs

What is the primary material of the PUMA Speedcat OG trainers?

The primary material for the upper is premium, soft leather. It also features suede accents for the PUMA Formstrip and embroidered details.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

While inspired by motorsport, the Speedcat OG trainers are best suited for casual wear and light activities. They are not designed for high-impact sports or serious running due to their specific construction and cushioning.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

The product information specifies UK sizing. For this model, the size is UK 7. It's recommended to consult PUMA's general sizing guide if you are unsure about your conversion.

What does IMEVA stand for and what is its benefit?

IMEVA stands for 'Integrated Molded EVA'. It is PUMA's material used in the midsole to provide a lightweight and comfortable feel underfoot.

How should I clean the white branding on the trainers?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently clean the white branding. Avoid using harsh chemicals. For stubborn marks, a specialized sneaker cleaner might be effective, but always test on a small, hidden area first.

Can these trainers be worn by women?

While this specific listing is for men's sizing (UK 7), the Speedcat OG series often has unisex appeal. However, it's best to check the product details for specific gender classifications or available sizing.

What is the significance of the 'OG' in Speedcat OG?

'OG' typically stands for 'Original'. The Speedcat OG signifies a reissue or a design that stays true to the original iconic motorsport silhouette released over 25 years ago.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels stiff or uncomfortable

New leather can be stiff. Wear the trainers around the house for short periods to break them in gradually. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Leather shows scuffs or marks

For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For more persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for black leather. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction. Check if the insole is properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help, or the sound may dissipate with wear.

Suede PUMA Formstrip is dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently lift dirt from the suede. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner or eraser specifically designed for suede.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: To clean the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the leather. For suede accents, use a specialized suede brush.
  • Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack or fade.
  • Storage: Store your Speedcat OG trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and prevent creasing.
  • Leather Conditioning: Periodically, consider using a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out, especially after cleaning.
