Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Simply wear them as you would any casual shoe. Ensure you choose the correct size for optimal comfort and fit, keeping in mind the Speedcat's typically snug design.
Compatibility
These shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and light driving. They complement a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and sportswear. They are *not recommended* for rigorous sports, heavy-duty work, or activities requiring extensive foot protection or specialized athletic support.
Care
The suede upper requires specific care to maintain its premium appearance and longevity. Proper care will help protect your investment and keep your Speedcats looking their best.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Repeat periodically as per the product's instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt, dust, and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to maintain consistency.
- Spot Cleaning: For specific stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as these can damage the suede.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) which can cause the suede to stiffen or crack.
- Storage: Store your PUMA Speedcats in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help them maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture.
