How often should I replace them?

Troubleshooting

Foot feels too tight or restricted

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window' or 'gap' lacing style to relieve pressure over the bridge of the foot.

Insoles slipping during runs

Remove the insole, clean any debris from the footbed, and ensure the insole is seated perfectly flat inside the shoe.

Excessive dirt or mud accumulation

Allow the mud to dry completely and then brush it off with a soft-bristle brush; do not soak the shoes.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Puma X-Cell Ayro trainers, ensure you have the correct size for your specific foot shape; the structured fit is designed to be snug but not restrictive. For maintenance, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the adhesive and structural foam components. Instead, clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the interior becomes damp after a run, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping.
