FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
While the PUMA Mostro offers excellent grip and comfort, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers for casual wear and light activity. For high-impact sports or running, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.
How do I determine my correct size?
The PUMA Mostro generally fits true to size. We recommend using PUMA's official sizing guide or trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the unique strap closure system.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The premium tumbled leather provides some natural resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may damage the leather. For best results, consider applying a leather protector spray.
Are the OrthoLite insoles removable?
The OrthoLite cushioning is typically integrated into the shoe's design for optimal comfort and support. While some OrthoLite insoles can be removed, check the specific construction of your Mostro pair before attempting removal.
How often should I clean and condition the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. For regular wear, cleaning the leather every few weeks and conditioning every 1-2 months is a good practice to maintain its quality and appearance.
What is the PUMA Mostro's inspiration?
The Mostro, named after the Italian word for 'Monster', is known for its striking, minimalist, and experimental design, often drawing inspiration from a blend of athletic heritage and avant-garde fashion.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the hook-and-loop straps across the top of your foot. Ensure they are snug enough to secure your foot without causing discomfort or restricting circulation. Over time, the leather may soften, allowing for finer adjustments.
Uncomfortable fit or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. If the size is correct, a short break-in period is often necessary for leather shoes. Wear them for short durations initially. Consider wearing thicker socks during this period or using thin adhesive pads in areas of rubbing.
Leather appears dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or moisturizer to restore its luster and suppleness. Clean the leather thoroughly before conditioning to remove any surface dirt.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris lodged between the spikes. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and water. If the spikes are significantly worn, the grip will naturally diminish over time and with heavy use.
Squeaking sound when walking
A common issue with new shoes, especially leather, that often resolves with wear. If it persists, try applying a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder under the insole to reduce friction. Ensure the OrthoLite insole is correctly seated.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Gently wipe dirt and dust from the leather surface using a soft, damp cloth.
- For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Regularly apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and to prevent cracking.
- Cleaning the Outsole:
- Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) and mild soap with water to clean dirt and debris from the spiked rubber outsole.
- Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the leather and structural integrity of the shoes.
