FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While they feature Profoam technology for comfort, they are categorized as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for daily walking and casual use rather than long-distance endurance running.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural adhesives and the integrity of the textile upper. Spot cleaning by hand is recommended.
What does the 'Profoam' technology do?
Profoam is a lightweight, high-rebound EVA midsole solution that provides immediate cushioning and energy return.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Profoam Galactic series is designed as a unisex model, fitting a broad spectrum of foot shapes for adults.
How should I choose the right size?
These follow standard UK sizing; it is recommended to order your usual shoe size, as the textile upper provides a slightly forgiving fit.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel tight across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system completely and re-thread to allow for more volume in the arch area.
Visible dirt on the textile upper
Gently dab with a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild mixture of water and gentle laundry detergent; avoid machine washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your PUMA trainers last, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Setup: Ensure you have verified your UK sizing, as these trainers follow standard sizing protocols for a secure, locked-in fit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the textile areas. For stubborn stains on the overlays, use a damp cloth with mild soap.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can warp the Profoam midsole and adhesives.
- Storage: Keep them in a well-ventilated area to prevent odors and maintain the shape of the upper.
- Usage: These are optimized for pavement and indoor gym surfaces; avoid deep mud or harsh off-road trails to keep the material looking clean.
