Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, the Puma Creeper Phatty Trainers are generally considered true to UK standard sizing. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size.
Can I wear these trainers for running or sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion purposes, not for high-performance running or sports. The platform sole is not optimized for athletic activities.
What is the material composition of the trainers?
The upper material is primarily textile, and the sole is made of durable rubber, as specified in the product details.
How do I clean the platform sole?
The rubber platform sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft brush or a specialized rubber cleaner can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the benefit of the antibacterial finish?
The antibacterial finish helps to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping your trainers fresher for longer and contributing to overall foot hygiene.
Are the Puma Creeper Phatty Trainers heavy?
Due to the characteristic platform sole, these trainers may feel slightly heavier than standard athletic trainers, but they are designed for comfortable everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel unusually stiff or uncomfortable at first.
This is common with new footwear, especially those with platform soles. Wear them for short periods initially to 'break them in.' The materials will soften and conform to your foot over time.
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure you are tying a secure knot. Double-knotting can provide extra security. You may also consider replacing the laces with a different material or length if the issue persists.
Odor buildup despite antibacterial finish.
While the antibacterial finish helps, persistent odor can occur. Ensure trainers are fully air-dried after each use. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight to absorb odors.
Platform sole looks scuffed or dirty.
For light scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild cleaning solution. For deeper marks, a specialized rubber sole cleaner or a magic eraser can be effective. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
