FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The PUMA Axelion Block is designed with a foam heel unit for comfort and support in mind, making them suitable for regular running and gym activities. For very long-distance or marathon running, some runners might prefer models with more specialized cushioning or stability features. They are great for daily training and shorter to medium distances.
How do I choose the correct size?
We recommend measuring your foot length and referring to PUMA's official size chart. It's often best to try shoes on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and always wear the type of socks you'd typically use for running.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is generally not recommended for running shoes as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Please follow the care instructions provided, which suggest hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the purpose of the TPU shank?
The TPU shank is a supportive element placed in the midfoot area of the shoe. Its primary purpose is to provide stability and torsional rigidity, preventing excessive twisting of the foot during movement and offering arch support.
Is the textile upper breathable?
Yes, the low boot textile upper is designed to offer breathability, helping to keep your feet comfortable and cool during your activities. However, breathability can vary based on specific textile weave and environmental conditions.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
The lifespan of running shoes depends on factors like mileage, running style, and body weight. Generally, running shoes should be considered for replacement every 300-500 miles, or every 6-12 months if used regularly, as the cushioning and support can degrade over time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the lacing tension. Ensure you're lacing them evenly from the toe upwards. Try different lacing techniques if standard lacing isn't providing the desired fit.
Foot discomfort during or after activity
Verify you have the correct size. Ensure your socks are appropriate for running. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a footwear specialist to check for pronation or arch support needs.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, no shoe is entirely slip-proof. Exercise caution on wet or oily surfaces. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear; worn outsoles can reduce grip significantly.
Unpleasant odor from shoes
After each use, remove insoles and allow the shoes to air out completely. You can also use odor-absorbing sachets or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
