FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for serious running training?
The PUMA Retaliate 2 Trainers are designed for general running and everyday casual wear. They offer good cushioning and traction for light to moderate runs, but for serious or long-distance training, you might consider more specialized running shoes.
How do I clean the white trainers to keep them looking new?
For the textile upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid scrubbing aggressively. Allow them to air dry completely. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used carefully. Regular, gentle cleaning is key to maintaining their appearance.
What is the benefit of the EVA midsole?
The compression moulded EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning, absorbing impact and returning energy to your stride. This contributes to a more comfortable and responsive feel during walking or running, and also enhances the overall durability of the shoe.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
The PUMA Retaliate 2 Trainers feature a textile upper and are not specifically designed to be waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in wet feet. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to protect the shoe's materials.
Are these trainers true to size?
Info needed: PUMA generally strives for consistent sizing, but fit can vary slightly between models. We recommend referring to PUMA's official size guide or trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit for your specific foot size.
What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?
These trainers are constructed with a textile upper and textile lining for breathability and comfort, paired with a durable synthetic sole that features a grippy zoned rubber outsole for traction.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the lace closure system. Ensure laces are evenly tightened from the toe to the ankle. Experiment with different lacing techniques if needed for a more customized fit.
Reduced grip on slightly wet surfaces.
While the grippy zoned rubber outsole offers good traction, always exercise caution on wet or slippery surfaces. Check the outsole for excessive wear; reduced tread can affect grip. Clean the outsole regularly to remove embedded dirt that might compromise traction.
My trainers are getting dirty quickly (especially the white color).
Regularly clean the textile upper as per the 'Care Instructions' above. For white trainers, a gentle cleaning after each significant use can prevent stains from setting in. Consider applying a textile protector spray specifically designed for footwear.
Foot feels uncomfortable after prolonged wear.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. While the padded ankle collar and compression moulded EVA midsole provide comfort, individual foot shape and activity level can impact comfort. If discomfort persists, consider adding an aftermarket insole for additional support.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
- Cleaning: For the textile upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Drying: Never put trainers in a washing machine or tumble dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Air dry at room temperature.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape.
- Odour Control: If needed, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb odours. Remove baking soda before wearing.
