FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, these are fashion trainers designed for casual, daily wear, not for high-intensity athletic activities like running.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is strongly advised against washing suede shoes in a machine, as this will ruin the material and shape of the trainer.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
Use a professional-grade water-repellent spray designed specifically for suede before wearing them outside.
What is the primary material used?
The upper of this model is constructed from premium suede.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
The PUMA Charles F.Stead VI generally fits true to size, but we recommend checking your specific UK size measurement for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or dry dirt on the upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt in one direction.
Suede appears flat or matted
Use a suede eraser or brush the nap in multiple directions to restore its texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your PUMA Charles F.Stead VI trainers, ensure you verify the fit while wearing the socks you intend to use most often. To maintain the appearance of the suede, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray before the first wear to guard against dust and light moisture. For cleaning, use a suede brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these will damage the natural nap of the suede material.
