FAQs
What material is the upper of the PUMA Mostro made from?
The upper of the PUMA Mostro - Black - UK 7 is constructed from high-quality tumbled black leather, offering durability and a premium aesthetic.
How do the hook-and-loop straps work for closure?
The hook-and-loop straps replace traditional laces, providing a quick, easy, and highly adjustable way to secure the shoe. Simply pull the straps across and press them down firmly for a snug, locked-in fit.
Are these shoes suitable for all types of weather?
While the leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or extremely wet conditions, additional weather protection for leather is recommended. The spiked outsole provides excellent grip on varied terrain, but caution should always be exercised on slippery surfaces.
Can I use the PUMA Mostro for hiking or intense sports?
The PUMA Mostro's experimental spiked outsole is designed for 'thorny grip' on both urban and rural terrain, making it suitable for light outdoor exploration and casual walks. However, it is not specifically designed as a high-performance hiking boot or for intense sports. For dedicated athletic activities, specialized footwear is recommended.
What is OrthoLite cushioning?
OrthoLite cushioning is an open-cell foam technology known for its breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and long-lasting cushioning. It provides superior comfort and helps to keep your feet cooler and drier inside the shoe.
How do I determine the correct size for the PUMA Mostro?
The PUMA Mostro - Black - UK 7 is a standard UK adult size 7. We recommend referring to PUMA's official size chart and considering any previous PUMA footwear sizing. If possible, try on shoes to ensure the best fit, especially with the unique strap system.
Is the Mostro design comfortable for wide feet?
Info needed: [While the hook-and-loop straps offer some adjustability, specific information on the shoe's suitability for wide feet is not available. Customers with wider feet may wish to consult PUMA's sizing recommendations or try them on to assess comfort.]
Troubleshooting
Hook-and-loop straps feel loose or don't secure properly.
Ensure the straps are fully engaged and pressed down firmly. Over time, lint or debris can accumulate on the hook side; clean it gently with a stiff brush or tweezers to restore its grip. If the loop side is worn, consider contacting PUMA support for advice.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
While OrthoLite cushioning provides comfort, leather shoes may require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size. Check for any creased socks or foot positioning issues.
Leather appears dull, dirty, or scuffed.
For dirt, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For dullness, apply a suitable black leather polish or conditioner. For minor scuffs, a leather restoration balm might help. Always test any cleaning or conditioning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Spiked outsole seems to have reduced grip.
Inspect the outsole for accumulated dirt, mud, or small stones lodged between the spikes. Clean thoroughly with a stiff brush and water. If the spikes themselves appear significantly worn down, the shoe's grip performance may naturally diminish over extended use.
Unpleasant odour from inside the shoes.
Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and let them dry separately. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing). Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your PUMA Mostro shoes:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe the tumbled black leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for black leather. Follow the product instructions for application. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the shoes get wet or are exposed to dry conditions.
- Outsole Cleaning: Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) and a little water to clean dirt and debris from the experimental spiked rubber outsole. Ensure all mud and small stones are removed to maintain optimal grip.
- Storage: Store your Mostro shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather and internal components.
