FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-arch feet?
Yes, the neutral design of the Electrify Nitro 5 accommodates most foot types, but those with high arches may benefit from adding an aftermarket insole for extra support.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While capable of handling distance, these are primarily designed as daily trainers. For race day, many runners prefer the higher energy-return models in the elite Nitro series.
How do I determine the right size?
Puma trainers generally follow standard UK sizing. We recommend leaving about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are they waterproof?
No, these trainers are designed for breathability and are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to keep your feet dry and protect the shoe materials.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles in the Electrify Nitro 5 are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Adjust the lace tightness or try an alternative lacing pattern, such as the window lacing technique, to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Outsole collecting small debris
Use a dull, flat-edged tool to gently pry out stones or debris caught in the traction pattern to maintain grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Puma Electrify Nitro 5 trainers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short, low-intensity sessions for the first few days to allow the upper to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine.
- Air Drying: Always air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources or radiators, which can degrade the foam and adhesive.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and material breakdown.
- Replacement: Plan to replace your trainers after 300-500 miles of use, as the shock-absorbing properties of the foam will eventually diminish.
