FAQs
Are these PUMA Retaliate Trainers suitable for long-distance running?
These trainers are designed for versatile use, including light running and everyday wear, offering lightweight performance and comfort. While suitable for moderate jogs, for highly competitive or very long-distance running, specialized performance footwear might offer more tailored support.
How do I determine the correct size?
These trainers are UK size 7. PUMA sizing is generally consistent, but it's always recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you are between sizes or have specific foot concerns. Consider the PUMA size guide if purchasing online.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
The product description does not specify water resistance. While the textile upper offers comfort, it is not designed to be waterproof. For protection in rainy conditions, it's advisable to use waterproof sprays or choose trainers specifically designed for wet weather.
What is the benefit of the compression moulded EVA midsole?
The compression moulded EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole provides excellent cushioning for impact absorption, which reduces stress on your joints. It is also lightweight, contributing to a less fatiguing experience, and durable, ensuring long-lasting performance and support.
Are these trainers breathable?
Yes, with a textile upper and lining, the PUMA Retaliate Trainers are designed to offer a degree of breathability, helping to keep your feet comfortable during wear. However, for extremely intense workouts, specific ventilation features are not highlighted.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace tension. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened from the toes to the ankle. Try different lacing patterns for a more customized fit if necessary.
Foot discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Break in the trainers gradually with shorter wear periods. Check for any debris inside the shoe. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate sizing.
Squeaking sound while walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the insole and the sole. Remove the insole and allow both the insole and the shoe interior to air dry completely. If the sound persists, apply a small amount of baby powder under the insole.
Outsole seems to lack grip.
Clean the grippy zoned rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or small stones that might be reducing traction. Ensure the treads are clear.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, gently wipe the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the rubber outsole, a brush can help remove embedded dirt.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the materials and adhesive bonds of the trainers.
