FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the max cushioning and energy return make them suitable for marathon distances, especially for runners who prefer a responsive feel.
Can I use these for everyday walking?
While comfortable due to max cushioning, their performance design is optimized for running. For everyday walking, dedicated walking shoes might be more suitable for long-term comfort and support.
How do I know if the PWRPLATE is working?
You'll typically feel a propulsive sensation, particularly when running at faster paces. The plate enhances toe-off and forward momentum.
What is the heel-to-toe drop on these shoes?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm (38mm in the heel, 30mm in the forefoot).
Are these shoes good for beginners?
The advanced features like the carbon plate are beneficial for experienced runners looking to improve performance. Beginners might prefer shoes with a simpler design as they learn their running form.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 250g for a UK size 8.
What is the benefit of the recycled materials in the upper?
Using recycled materials in the upper contributes to reducing environmental impact and promotes sustainable manufacturing practices.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a more relaxed fit. If still uncomfortable, consider if this size is appropriate for your foot width.
Lack of energy return
Ensure the PWRPLATE is aligned correctly and that you are running in a manner that engages it (e.g., faster paces). The cushioning will also break in slightly over time.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
Clean the PUMAGRIP outsole to remove any accumulated debris. While designed for multi-surface traction, extreme wet conditions may still require caution.
Upper feels abrasive
Wear the shoes with appropriate running socks. The engineered mesh and internal construction may require a short break-in period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably. The laces allow for adjustability to suit your preferred fit.
Compatibility:
Designed for neutral pronation, these shoes are suitable for runners with a neutral foot strike. They are best suited for road running and well-maintained trails.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For the interior, use a soft brush and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods, which can degrade materials.
