FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

The PUMA Speedcat is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe with motorsport inspiration, not a performance running or sports shoe. While comfortable, it's best suited for casual wear.

How do I clean the leather upper?

For routine cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What kind of cushioning is used in these shoes?

The PUMA Speedcat features `OrthoLite cushioning` for superior comfort, breathability, and long-lasting support.

Is the outsole durable?

Yes, the `tire-tread inspired rubber outsole` is designed for durability and provides excellent grip, drawing inspiration from high-performance racing tires.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid heavy rain and to apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather to enhance protection.

Are there other color options available?

This particular variant is in Brown. PUMA Speedcat shoes are often available in various colors and materials. You can check with retailers for other available options in the Speedcat series.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry

Apply a quality leather conditioner or moisturizer as per product instructions to restore suppleness and shine. Ensure the shoes are clean before conditioning.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are not overtightened. Allow for a short break-in period for the leather to conform to your foot. For persistent discomfort, check sizing.

Squeaking sound when walking

Sometimes squeaking can come from the insole. Try removing the `OrthoLite cushioning` insole, cleaning the inside of the shoe and the insole, and then reinserting it. A little talcum powder under the insole can also help.

Outsole grip seems reduced

Inspect the `tire-tread inspired rubber outsole` for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the treads thoroughly with a brush and water. If significant wear is present, this is natural over time.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather PUMA Speedcat shoes:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner, then wipe clean and air dry away from direct heat.
  • Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product's instructions for application.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before initial wear.
  • Drying: If shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
