Product Information
Full details
The Puma Maxima Pro trainers are engineered for adult male runners who prioritize high-level cushioning and energy return during long-distance road runs. These shoes excel at providing a stable, responsive ride through their signature foam midsole and breathable mesh upper, though users should note the specific 6 mm heel-to-toe drop which may require a brief transition period for those accustomed to different stack heights.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The supportive midfoot construction offers decent stability, though runners with specific medical needs should consult a podiatrist.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While designed for road running, the stable construction makes them suitable for general gym use and light weightlifting.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a gentle soap solution and a soft cloth; avoid putting them in the washing machine to maintain the foam integrity.
What does a 6 mm drop mean?
The 6 mm drop refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot, placing you in a neutral position for efficient running.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh is designed for breathability, meaning they are not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.
Do these run true to size?
The Maxima Pro is built for a performance-oriented fit; if you prefer extra room in the toe box, consider the fit against your standard dress shoe size.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during runs
Adjust the lace-up closure to a looser tension, as feet naturally expand during exercise.
Slippage on wet pavement
Ensure the Pro Tread outsole is clean and free of embedded debris, which can compromise surface grip.
Foam feeling compressed
Give the shoes 24 hours of rest between long runs to allow the Pro Foam to fully decompress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Puma Maxima Pro trainers, lace them securely to utilize the midfoot lockdown system. Since these are performance running shoes, ensure you verify your UK sizing as they are built for a performance-oriented fit.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe down the mesh upper with a damp cloth after runs to remove dust and mud.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally; avoid direct heat sources like radiators which can damage the foam.
- Remove the insoles occasionally to air them out, reducing moisture buildup.
- If the outsole accumulates debris in the tread, use a soft-bristled brush to clear the grooves for optimal traction.
