FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all types of running?
The Puma Axelion Block Running Shoes are designed for general running, walking, and athletic activities, focusing on comfort and style. For highly specialized or competitive long-distance running, you might consider models with specific performance technologies.
How do I determine the correct size?
Puma sizing is generally consistent. We recommend referring to the official Puma size chart and measuring your foot to ensure the best fit. If between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort.
What is the foam heel unit, and what does it do?
The foam heel unit is a specialized cushioning component integrated into the shoe's heel. It is designed to provide supreme comfort and excellent shock absorption, reducing impact during your stride and enhancing overall wear comfort.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials and construction. Please follow the care instructions provided, which involve spot cleaning and air drying.
What kind of surfaces can I use these shoes on?
The rubber outsole provides reliable traction suitable for various typical running surfaces such as pavement, sidewalks, gym floors, and treadmills. For off-road or trail running, specialized trail running shoes would be more appropriate.
Do these shoes offer good ankle support?
These shoes feature a low boot silhouette, which offers good ankle mobility. While they provide general support for the foot, if you require specific high-level ankle support, consider shoes with a higher cut or additional ankle stabilization features.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the laces for a looser fit. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Consider different types of socks.
Foot odor is developing.
Air out your shoes after each use. Remove insoles to allow them to dry fully. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
Slipping on certain surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but exercise caution on extremely wet, icy, or uneven surfaces. Regularly clean the outsole to prevent dirt buildup from reducing grip.
Noise (squeaking) while walking.
This can sometimes occur from moisture trapped inside or between shoe components. Try airing the shoes out thoroughly. If the noise persists, check if the insole is properly seated or if any debris is lodged beneath it.
