FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or exercise?
No, the PUMA Speedcat Ballet Pumps are designed as lifestyle footwear for casual wear, not for athletic activities like running, sports, or intensive exercise. They offer comfort and style for everyday use.
How do I determine my correct size?
These shoes are listed in UK sizing. We recommend referring to PUMA's official size chart or trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you are between sizes or unfamiliar with PUMA sizing.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. While applying a suede protector can offer some resistance, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments to prevent damage and staining.
What is the benefit of the elasticated strap?
The elasticated strap serves two purposes: it ensures a more secure fit, helping the shoe stay comfortably on your foot, and it contributes to the classic ballet pump aesthetic, blending style with practicality.
Are there other colors or materials available in the Speedcat Ballet series?
Yes, the PUMA Speedcat Ballet series is often available in a variety of colors and materials (such as leather) to suit different preferences. Please check the product listings for other available variants.
How often should I clean my suede ballet pumps?
Clean your suede ballet pumps as needed. Regular light brushing helps maintain their appearance, and you should spot clean or deep clean with a suede cleaner when dirt or stains become noticeable.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in consistent, short strokes in one direction to lift the fibers.
Small scuffs or light marks on the suede
Use a suede eraser to gently rub away the scuff. For tougher marks, apply light pressure. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel a bit tight or uncomfortable initially
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them for short periods around the house. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size.
Shoes got wet and the color looks uneven
Stuff the shoes with newspaper and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap and even out the color. Consider reapplying a suede protector.
Elastic strap feels too loose or too tight
The elastic strap is designed for a snug fit. If it feels consistently uncomfortable, double-check your shoe size. Elastic may soften slightly over time with wear.

Care Instructions for Suede
Proper care will preserve the beauty and longevity of your suede PUMA Speedcat Ballet Pumps:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as recommended by the spray manufacturer.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt, dust, and restore the nap. Brush in one direction.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks or scuffs, use a suede eraser. Gently rub the eraser over the mark. For tougher stains, use a suede-specific cleaner following the product's instructions carefully.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your pumps in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight which can fade the color. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free paper can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or submerge in water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners not specifically designed for suede.
