FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the PUMA Speedcat Ballet is designed for lifestyle and casual use and does not provide the support or cushioning required for running.
How do I clean the leather?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals.
Does the elastic strap stretch out over time?
The elastic strap is designed to be durable, but like all elastic materials, it may lose some tension if subjected to extreme stretching. Avoid pulling excessively when putting them on.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are typically integrated into the design. We recommend using them as provided to maintain the intended fit and profile of the shoe.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adults. Because of the ballet-style fit, they are designed to be snug.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels too tight around the bridge of the foot
Ensure the elasticated strap is positioned correctly and not twisted; if the pressure persists, consider wearing thinner socks as the shoe is designed for a close, streamlined fit.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser designed for leather goods to gently buff out surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the shoe features premium leather, proper care is essential to preserve its appearance. To maintain the material:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Storage: Keep the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or cracking.
- Compatibility: These shoes run true to standard adult sizing and are designed for a snug fit due to the ballet-inspired construction; ensure you are wearing socks of appropriate thickness if you desire extra room.
