FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Slipstream Mid is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use, not for high-intensity athletic activities.
How do I determine if these are the right size?
PUMA sizing is generally standard; it is recommended to order your usual UK shoe size for the best fit.
Are the materials waterproof?
While the leather construction offers some resistance to light moisture, they are not classified as waterproof.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the standard insoles can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if required.
How should I clean the interior?
Use a dry cloth to wipe the interior lining, or use an antimicrobial spray if necessary to refresh the footbed.
Does the mid-top cut interfere with movement?
The cut is designed to provide stability without significantly restricting natural ankle flexion during walking.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the leather structure and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Loosen the laces down to the mid-foot area before inserting your foot to prevent undue stress on the heel counter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your PUMA Slipstream Mid trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution for tougher stains, avoiding harsh detergents.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the grey finish.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit that secures the ankle without cutting off circulation.
- Maintenance: Regularly remove loose dirt from the outsole tread using a soft-bristled brush to maintain traction.
