FAQs

What is IMEVA?

IMEVA stands for Injection-Moulded EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate). It's a lightweight, flexible, and cushioned material used in the midsole of the shoe to provide shock absorption and comfort.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

No, the PUMA Speedcat OG trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and grip, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports activities.

How do I protect the suede from water and stains?

Before wearing them, it is highly recommended to apply a quality suede protector spray. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions. This creates a barrier against moisture and stains.

What does 'OG' in PUMA Speedcat OG stand for?

'OG' stands for 'Original,' indicating that this version is a re-release or a faithful recreation of the shoe's initial design from 1999, paying homage to its heritage.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

It is advisable to avoid wearing your suede PUMA Speedcat OG trainers in heavy rain or very wet conditions. Suede is porous and can be easily damaged by water, leading to discoloration or changes in texture.

How should I store my Speedcat OG trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb excess moisture, prolonging their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaning eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

The PUMA Speedcat OG has a classic design that might require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to mold to your feet. Adjusting the lacing can also help achieve a more comfortable fit.

Poor grip on certain surfaces.

While the tire-tread outsole offers good grip, it's designed for typical street and indoor conditions. The Speedcat OG is a lifestyle shoe and not intended for extreme or wet outdoor terrain. Ensure the outsole is clean of any debris that might reduce traction.

Care Instructions

The suede material of your PUMA Speedcat OG trainers requires specific care to maintain its pristine appearance:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner and a clean cloth. Apply sparingly and dab, rather than rub, to avoid damaging the material.
  3. Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and stains.
  4. Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can stiffen or crack the suede.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Water: Suede is not water-resistant. Try to avoid wearing your Speedcats in heavy rain or wet conditions.
