FAQs
Are PUMA Speedcat OG Trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, these trainers are designed as lifestyle and fashion footwear with a racing heritage. While comfortable for everyday wear, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities like running, training, or competitive sports.
What materials are the PUMA Speedcat OG Trainers made from?
They feature a combination of a sleek leather upper and a classic suede PUMA Formstrip, with a lightweight IMEVA midsole for cushioning and a durable rubber outsole for grip.
How should I clean the suede parts of my trainers?
Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and lift the nap. For more stubborn marks, a dedicated suede cleaner should be used, following its specific instructions. Avoid getting suede excessively wet.
Do these trainers provide good grip for driving?
Yes, the PUMA Speedcat OG trainers were inspired by motorsport shoes, and their durable rubber outsole is designed to provide good grip and feel, making them well-suited for driving.
What does IMEVA mean?
IMEVA stands for Injection Molded EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate). It's a type of foam used in midsoles that provides lightweight, flexible, and comfortable cushioning.
Are the PUMA Speedcat OG Trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. The leather and especially the suede components are not designed to withstand significant exposure to water. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and fading. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape over time.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush away dirt and restore the texture. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner as directed by the cleaner's instructions.
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. Adjust the lacing to allow for more room. Consider wearing thinner socks. Keep in mind that new shoes may require a short break-in period.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, no shoe is completely slip-proof on all wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution and adjust your stride in such conditions.
Creasing on the leather upper.
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather with wear. To minimize, consider using shoe trees when not wearing them and avoid excessive bending of the foot in situations where the shoe is forced to crease.
Unpleasant odor develops.
Allow trainers to air out after each wear. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays designed for footwear. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

- Lacing: Ensure laces are properly threaded through all eyelets and tied securely for a snug fit.
- First Wear: Try them on indoors to ensure comfort and fit before extended use.
Compatibility
- Apparel: Best paired with casual and athletic-inspired clothing. Think slim-fit denim, track pants, shorts, and t-shirts or casual shirts.
- Activities: Ideal for everyday casual wear, light walking, and driving. Not recommended for strenuous sports or activities requiring specialized athletic footwear.
Care Instructions
- General Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Do not submerge in water.
- Suede Care: For the suede Formstrip, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage suede.
- Drying: If trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to crack or shrink.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
