FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
PUMA generally recommends hand cleaning with a mild soap to preserve the structural integrity of the foam and glue.
Can these be used for long-distance running?
These are designed for daily activity and moderate play; for professional athletic training, a specialized running shoe is recommended.
Does the size 5 UK run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK children's sizing, but it is always best to leave about half an inch of room for growth.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up design allows for some width adjustment, but the standard cut is designed for an average foot width.
Can I remove the insoles?
The insoles are typically designed to be removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose during activity
Adjust the lace tension and consider a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel.
Outsole collecting debris in the rubber zones
Use a soft brush to gently clear rocks or dirt from the rubber grip patterns after outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your PUMA FLEXFOCUS LITE trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the bridge of the foot to provide mid-foot stability without restricting circulation.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the textile upper using a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals which may degrade the materials.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep away from direct heat sources such as radiators or heaters, as heat can warp the EVA components of the midsole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and ensure the fabric remains fresh.
