FAQs
Are Puma Cell Vive Trainers suitable for running?
Puma Cell Vive Trainers are designed for comfort and shock absorption for daily wear and light activities. While they can be used for short, casual jogs, they are not engineered with the specialized support and responsiveness required for serious or long-distance running. For dedicated running, consider Puma's performance running shoe lines.
How do I determine my size?
Puma typically uses standard UK sizing. It's recommended to refer to Puma's official size chart. If unsure, measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Trying them on is always the best way to ensure a comfortable fit.
What does 'Cell Vive' refer to in the name?
The 'Cell Vive' series incorporates Puma's cushioning technology, primarily through its thick foam sole. This design is focused on providing enhanced shock absorption and a comfortable, 'lively' feel underfoot for everyday wear and light exercise.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is generally not recommended for trainers as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure. Always follow the care instructions: wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, Puma Cell Vive Trainers are available in various colorways, including Black and Green, across different sizes to suit personal preferences. Check product listings for current availability.
What is the primary benefit of the thick foam sole?
The primary benefit of the thick foam sole is superior shock absorption. It helps to cushion each step, reducing the impact on your feet and joints, which contributes significantly to overall comfort during prolonged wear or light activities.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up front. For tightness, loosen the laces starting from the toe box. For looseness, tighten the laces progressively towards the ankle. Ensure even tension across the foot.
Foot discomfort after extended wear.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. While the cushioned insole provides comfort, individual foot types vary; consider trying an aftermarket arch support or insole if you require additional tailored support.
Squeaking sound when walking.
A common cause is friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath, and replacing it. A light sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can also help reduce friction.
Trainers appear dirty or scuffed quickly.
Regular maintenance is key. Wipe them down after each use with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a shoe cleaner specifically designed for trainer materials may be effective. Avoid dragging your feet to prevent unnecessary wear.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Excellent Shock Absorption: Thick foam sole effectively reduces impact, protecting joints during walking or light exercise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets. Adjust the tightness evenly from the toe to the ankle for a snug, yet comfortable, fit. The padded ankle collar should sit comfortably around your ankle without feeling restrictive.
- Initial Wear: Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet.
Compatibility
- Activities: Best suited for daily wear, casual outings, walking, and light fitness activities. Not recommended for specialized sports requiring extreme lateral stability or aggressive traction.
- Socks: Pair with athletic socks for optimal comfort and moisture wicking.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not expose to direct sunlight or use heat sources (like a dryer or radiator), as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help maintain their shape and prevent dust buildup.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets can also be used.
