FAQs

What does 'low-profile silhouette' mean for these shoes?

The 'low-profile silhouette' refers to the sleek, close-to-the-ground design of the shoe, which is inspired by racing footwear. It provides a streamlined look and a natural feel.

How should I clean the suede material of my PUMA Speedcat OG trainers?

For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner and conditioner, making sure to follow the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities or running?

The PUMA Speedcat OG is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer with a motorsport aesthetic. While comfortable for everyday wear, it is not engineered for high-performance athletic activities or running.

What is IMEVA in the midsole?

IMEVA stands for 'Injection Moulded EVA' (Ethylene-vinyl acetate). It's a lightweight material that provides superior cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to the overall comfort of the shoe.

Can I wear my suede PUMA Speedcat OG trainers in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain. Suede can be damaged by excessive moisture, potentially leading to water spots or changes in texture. Consider applying a water-repellent suede protector spray for light moisture resistance.

What is the benefit of the tire-tread-inspired rubber outsole?

The tire-tread-inspired rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable grip and traction on various urban surfaces, drawing inspiration from motorsport tires to ensure stability during casual wear.

What is the Softform+ footbed?

The Softform+ footbed is an additional cushioning technology integrated into the shoe to enhance comfort. It provides a soft, supportive feel underfoot, making the trainers comfortable for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to restore its nap and remove superficial dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a suede cleaning block or solution, following the product instructions carefully.

Shoes feel a bit tight or stiff during initial wear.

Due to their slimline build, a brief break-in period may be necessary. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the materials to soften and conform to the shape of your foot naturally.

Poor grip on very smooth or wet surfaces.

While the tire-tread outsole offers good general traction, the PUMA Speedcat OG is a lifestyle shoe. Exercise caution on extremely slippery or wet surfaces, as they are not specifically engineered for maximum grip in challenging conditions.

Care Instructions

Given the premium suede material, proper care is crucial for longevity:

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove dust and light dirt. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For specific stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions. Apply sparingly and blot, rather than rub.
  4. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help retain their shape.
  6. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, and avoid harsh chemicals.
