FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle fashion sneakers and are not designed to provide the support or impact protection required for running.
How much height does the platform add?
The platform sole adds a significant, stylish lift, usually around 1.5 to 2 inches depending on the specific sizing.
Do these sneakers fit true to size?
Yes, they are generally designed to fit true to the standard adult UK sizing provided.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the structural integrity and the platform bonding.
Are these suitable for all-day wear?
While comfortable for casual use, the platform sole is firmer than standard athletic shoes, so they are best for everyday errands rather than standing for extremely long periods.
Troubleshooting
The platform sole feels stiff when walking.
This is normal for new platform shoes. Wear them for short intervals daily to allow the sole's flexibility to improve.
Scuff marks appearing on the white surface.
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a gentle soft-bristled brush with mild soap to remove scuffs without damaging the material.
Laces coming undone frequently.
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and tied with a double knot if necessary to maintain tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your PUMA Basket Platform Core sneakers remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors before taking them on long walks to allow the material to soften.
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white exterior.
- Compatibility: These shoes are designed for female adults and generally fit true to size. If you prefer a looser fit for thicker socks, consider measuring your foot carefully before selecting your UK size.
