FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the PUMA Speedcat trainers?

The PUMA Speedcat trainers are inspired by the speed and style of motorsport racing, with a design that debuted in 1999 and quickly became an icon in both motorsport and lifestyle fashion.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of plush suede, specifically in a 'Whisp Of Pink' colorway for this variant.

Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic training?

The PUMA Speedcat trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and good grip for everyday activities, they are not intended for high-impact athletic training or competitive running.

How do I clean the suede material?

Clean suede with a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and revive the nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat.

What does 'IMEVA' stand for in the midsole?

IMEVA stands for 'Injection-Molded Ethylene Vinyl Acetate'. It's a lightweight foam material used in midsoles to provide cushioning and shock absorption.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather, as moisture can damage the material and potentially cause color transfer. Consider using a suede protector spray for added water resistance.

What is the 'Formstrip' on the side of the shoe?

The Formstrip is a signature design element of PUMA shoes, typically a striped overlay on the sidewall, which in this case is white and contrasts with the pink suede upper.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Shoe feels too tight

If the shoes are new, they may need a breaking-in period. Wearing them for short periods initially can help them mold to your foot. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If they remain uncomfortable, consider insoles or socks that alter the fit.

Color transfer from suede

This can happen if the suede becomes wet or if dye is not fully set. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider using a suede protector spray. Avoid wearing them in wet conditions or with light-colored socks until the color transfer stops.

Outsole grip is reduced

Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any debris or smooth-out residue that might be affecting traction. Ensure the shoes are not worn on excessively slippery surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish, iconic design with motorsport heritage.
  • Comfortable for daily wear due to lightweight midsole and cushioning.
  • Durable construction with a quality suede upper.
  • Versatile for casual styling, easily pairs with different outfits.
  • Good traction and grip from the specialized outsole.

Cons

  • Suede material requires careful cleaning and maintenance.
  • Low-profile design may offer less ankle support than high-top shoes.
  • Primarily a lifestyle shoe, not designed for intense athletic performance.
  • Color may be susceptible to fading or staining if not properly cared for.
  • Limited availability in specific colorways or sizes can occur.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, the PUMA Speedcat trainers require no setup. Simply wear them for immediate comfort and style.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult use and are compatible with most casual wear. They are not intended for specialized athletic activities beyond light sports or gym use.

Care Instructions:

  • Suede Care:
  1. Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and revive the nap. Brush in one direction.
  2. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture, as it can damage the suede.
  3. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
  4. Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  • General Cleaning: Wipe the Formstrip and midsole with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box, to maintain shape and prevent dust accumulation.
