FAQs
Who is the PUMA Maxima Pro Road Running Shoe designed for?
This shoe is designed for adult runners, particularly those seeking enhanced cushioning and comfort for everyday training, road running, and longer distances. It's suitable for a unisex fit.
What is the main cushioning technology used?
The shoe features PUMA's ProFoam midsole, which is a lightweight and responsive EVA foam designed to provide instant cushioning and a high rebound for a dynamic ride.
How does the outsole provide traction?
The outsole is equipped with a full-length ProTread sole, featuring a durable rubber with a specific tread pattern designed to offer reliable traction on multiple surfaces.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of this shoe?
The Maxima Pro has an 8mm drop from heel to toe, intended to offer a balanced feel between the rear and front of the foot during the running stride.
Are there any sustainable materials used in the shoe?
Yes, the shoe's upper is made from technical mesh that incorporates at least 30% recycled materials, contributing to PUMA's sustainability efforts.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While the ProTread outsole offers multi-surface traction, these shoes are primarily designed for road running. They can handle light, dry trails but may not provide sufficient protection or grip for technical or rugged trail conditions.
How should I clean my PUMA Maxima Pro shoes?
Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use mild soap and cool water, then air dry. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists, double-check the lacing; try loosening them slightly. If the shoe consistently feels too small, it may be the wrong size.
Slipping on certain surfaces.
The ProTread outsole provides multi-surface traction, but extreme conditions (e.g., wet ice, very smooth wet surfaces) can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is free from excessive mud or debris that might hinder traction.
Discomfort in the heel or forefoot.
The 8mm drop is designed for a balanced ride. If you experience specific discomfort, consider your running gait and foot strike. For persistent issues, consult a running specialist or consider shoes with a different drop profile.
Upper material seems less breathable.
Ensure the mesh is clean and free from dirt or debris. If the shoes have become wet, ensure they are completely dry and have aired out properly. Over time, heavy wear can impact breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: No specific setup is required for running shoes. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. While the ProTread outsole offers multi-surface traction, they are best suited for paved roads, sidewalks, and light, dry trails. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water, then allow the shoes to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Never place running shoes in a dryer or near direct heat sources, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during air drying.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in damp conditions, which can lead to odor and material degradation.
