FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for playing tennis?

The Puma GV Special Base trainers are inspired by tennis heritage but are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear. For high-performance tennis, dedicated sports footwear is recommended.

How should I clean the white leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution for regular cleaning. For tougher stains, a dedicated white leather cleaner is recommended. Always air dry naturally.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is typically made of rubber, providing durability and traction characteristic of trainers.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, Puma GV Special Base trainers fit true to size. However, individual fit can vary. Checking customer reviews or trying them on if possible is advised.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and ensure they dry thoroughly afterward.

What does 'GV Special' refer to?

'GV Special' refers to the line of shoes named after the Argentinian tennis player Guillermo Vilas.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from sole

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between sole layers. Try inserting a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture.

Leather creasing significantly

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure the shoes fit correctly and use shoe trees when storing them. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Discoloration of white leather

Clean regularly with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized white leather cleaner. Protect the shoes from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no setup as they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with most casual apparel. To care for your Puma GV Special Base trainers, it is recommended to clean the leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material. For stubborn stains, a dedicated leather cleaner may be used following product instructions. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. It is advisable to use a shoe tree to help maintain their shape when not in use.
