FAQs
Are PUMA Mostro shoes suitable for athletic activities?
While the PUMA Mostro draws inspiration from '60s sprinting spikes, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe. Its construction and materials are best suited for casual wear, walking, and making a style statement, rather than intense athletic performance.
How do I ensure the best fit with the zigzag Velcro strap?
Adjust the zigzag Velcro strap to a comfortable tightness that secures your foot without feeling restrictive. The goal is a snug fit that allows natural movement. Experiment with the strap's tension until you find your ideal comfort level.
What is OrthoLite cushioning?
OrthoLite is an open-cell foam technology used in insoles that provides long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management. It helps keep your feet comfortable and cool throughout the day.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The tumbled leather upper offers some natural resistance, but it's not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to wet conditions, we recommend applying a water-resistant leather protector spray to help safeguard the material and prolong its life.
How often should I clean my leather PUMA Mostro shoes?
Regular light cleaning with a soft, dry cloth after each wear is recommended. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, aim for every few weeks or months, depending on how frequently you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to.
Is the PUMA Mostro a unisex shoe?
Yes, the PUMA Mostro is designed as a unisex shoe, suitable for both men and women. Its versatile design and sizing cater to a broad audience.
Troubleshooting
Velcro strap doesn't feel secure or keeps coming undone.
Clean any lint, dust, or debris from both sides of the Velcro strap. Over time, debris can accumulate and reduce its effectiveness. A small brush or even a toothpick can help dislodge embedded particles.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or moisturizer specifically designed for tumbled leather. This will help restore its natural oils, suppleness, and luster. Follow the product's instructions for best results.
Shoes feel slippery on certain indoor surfaces.
The experimental spiked rubber outsole is designed for various terrains but might behave differently on very smooth, polished indoor floors. Check the sole for any embedded debris that might be reducing traction. If the issue persists, consider the specific floor type and adapt your movement.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your PUMA Mostro shoes, proper care for their tumbled leather upper is essential:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For more stubborn marks, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the product instructions for application.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before wearing in adverse weather conditions.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Warning
- Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
- Do not use abrasive brushes or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the leather and sole.
