Puma Easy Rider - White - Suede - 8

For white suede, it's crucial to use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. Gently brush off loose dirt first, then apply the cleaner as directed, blotting rather than rubbing. Follow up with a suede protector spray.

While the Easy Rider has a running heritage, it is now primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe. It's comfortable for casual walking and daily wear but not recommended for intense running or athletic sports that require specialized performance footwear.

LWG certification indicates that the leather used in your PUMA Easy Rider shoes comes from tanneries that follow environmentally responsible practices, minimizing their environmental impact during leather production.

Puma Easy Rider shoes generally run true to size for most wearers. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's often recommended to try them on or consult a size guide specific to Puma if you are unsure. This model is a UK size 8.

Due to the suede components, these shoes are not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain or damage suede. If caught in light rain, ensure they air dry thoroughly and consider using a water-repellent spray for protection.

The retro aesthetic of the Easy Rider makes it highly versatile. It pairs well with casual outfits like jeans, chinos, shorts, track pants, and even casual dresses or skirts. Its vintage vibe also complements streetwear and athleisure styles.

The shoe features a nylon base, with suede leather overlays at the quarter and midfoot, and leather reinforcement at the toe and heel. The midsole is 100% synthetic, the insole is 100% textile, and the outsole is 100% rubber. The upper is predominantly cow leather (68%).

Before wearing them for the first time, apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray suitable for both suede and textile materials. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions. Regular cleaning and brushing will also help prevent dirt buildup.

Use a suede brush to gently rub the affected areas, lifting the nap and restoring its texture. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.

Remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight, then shake it out. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry after wear.

For the nylon and textile parts, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For suede, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for white suede. For rubber soles, a magic eraser can work wonders.

Verify you have the correct size. If slightly snug, wearing them with thin socks or using a shoe stretcher might help. If loose, consider thicker socks or a different lacing technique.
