FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the PUMA Speedcat Ballet Pumps are designed for casual wear and fashion purposes, not for athletic performance or running.

How do I choose the correct size?

These shoes are in UK size 4. PUMA footwear generally runs true to size. If you are unsure, it's recommended to consult a PUMA sizing chart or try them on.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is strongly advised to avoid wearing these suede pumps in rainy or wet conditions, as water can damage the suede. Apply a suede protector spray for added protection against moisture.

What is the best way to clean these shoes?

For light dirt, use a suede brush. For marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid water and harsh chemicals. For serious stains, professional suede cleaning is recommended.

What is the inspiration behind the Speedcat Ballet design?

The design blends the legacy of PUMA's motorsport-inspired Speedcat, known for accuracy and performance, with the modern trend of ballet pumps, creating a unique fusion of style and heritage.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

As ballet pump style flats, they offer limited arch support. They are designed for casual comfort. For extended walking, you might consider adding a thin, discreet insole for additional support if needed.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush, always brushing in the same direction to restore the nap and texture.

Water spots or light stains appear on the suede

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can help.

Shoes feel a bit loose or the elastic strap seems stretched

The elastic strap is designed for a secure fit. If they feel loose, ensure your feet are properly settled. Over time, elastic can slightly stretch; consider adding a thin insole for a snugger fit if necessary.

Colour seems to be fading or has scuffs

For scuffs, gently rub with a suede eraser or brush. To protect against future fading, regularly apply a UV-protective suede spray and store shoes away from direct sunlight.

Unpleasant odour developing inside the shoes

Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odours, then tap it out. Ensure shoes are aired out after wear.

  • Occasions: Best suited for casual events, daily wear, social gatherings, and light urban activities. Not recommended for rigorous sports or activities requiring extensive foot support.

Care

Given the premium suede material, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your PUMA Speedcat Ballet Pumps.

  1. Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before first wear and reapply periodically. Avoid wearing them in wet conditions.
  2. Cleaning Dirt and Dust:
  • Use a suede brush to gently brush away loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  • For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be used. Gently rub the eraser over the mark.
  1. Removing Stains:
  • For oil or grease stains, apply a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder to absorb the oil, let it sit for a few hours, then brush it off.
  • For other liquid stains, dab gently with a clean, dry cloth; do *not* rub.
  1. Reshaping and Storage:
  • Use shoe trees or stuff them with acid-free paper to help maintain their shape when not in use.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to prevent dust accumulation and maintain colour.
  1. Professional Cleaning: For stubborn stains or extensive damage, consider consulting a professional shoe cleaner experienced with suede.
