FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious marathon training?
The PUMA Axelion Block shoes are designed for supreme comfort and athletic style, making them ideal for light to moderate running, gym workouts, and everyday wear. For serious marathon training, shoes with more specialized performance features might be more appropriate.
How do I maintain the comfort of the foam heel unit?
The foam heel unit is built for durability. To maintain its comfort, allow the shoes to air out after use and avoid extreme compression during storage. Regular cleaning of the shoe also contributes to overall longevity.
What is the purpose of the TPU shank?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) shank is a piece located in the midfoot area of the shoe. Its purpose is to provide torsional rigidity and arch support, helping to stabilize your foot and prevent excessive twisting, leading to a more secure and comfortable stride.
Is the textile upper breathable?
The textile upper offers a degree of breathability for general comfort during activity. While it helps with air circulation, its specific breathability characteristics might vary depending on the exact weave of the textile. For optimal breathability, ensure you wear moisture-wicking socks.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials, adhesives, and overall structure. Please follow the spot cleaning instructions provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section.
What kind of traction can I expect from the rubber outsole?
The durable rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on various indoor and urban surfaces such as pavements, gym floors, and light tracks. It offers a good balance of grip and durability for everyday athletic activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you've selected the correct size (UK 12 for this variant). Adjust lacing for a custom fit. Wear appropriate athletic socks. Allow a brief break-in period if new.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces
Regularly clean the rubber outsole to remove embedded dirt and debris, which can reduce traction. While the rubber outsole provides good grip, these shoes are not designed for extreme slippery or off-road conditions.
Upper material looks dull or dirty
Follow the care instructions for the textile upper. Use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth for spot cleaning. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the shoe's structure and materials.
