FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the Puma Mostro design?
The Puma Mostro design is a hybrid creation inspired by the sleek sprinting spikes of the 1960s and the casual surfing shoes of the 1980s.
How do I clean the leather material of the Mostro trainers?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.

While they draw inspiration from sprinting spikes, their primary design focus is on style and casual wear. They are suitable for light activity but not intended for serious athletic training.
What is the closure system on the Mostro trainers?
The Mostro trainers feature an elasticated hook-and-loop closure system for an adjustable and secure fit.
Can I wear the Mostro trainers in wet weather?
The leather material offers some protection, but they are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What does 'Mostro' mean?
'Mostro' is the Italian word for 'monster', reflecting the shoe's unique and unconventional design.
How do I adjust the fit of the trainers?
You can adjust the fit using the elasticated hook-and-loop strap located across the top of the foot.
Troubleshooting
Hook-and-loop closure not securing
Ensure the Velcro surfaces are clean and free of debris. Press firmly to engage. If worn out, consider replacement.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for athletic shoes. Allow it to absorb fully before wearing.
Soles leave marks on certain floors
This can happen with rubber outsoles, especially those with aggressive tread. Clean the soles after use or consider using them primarily outdoors.
Discomfort around the ankle
Ensure the hook-and-loop strap is adjusted correctly. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially.
