FAQs
What are the PUMA Tackle Trainers made of?
The uppers are made of 70% leather and 30% other materials. The lining and cushioning are 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for a retro sporty look and everyday wear. While suitable for light activity, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running or professional athletic performance due to their ultra-thin sole.
How do I clean the mixed-material upper?
Gently wipe the leather and other materials with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized suede brush or eraser for any suede components. Avoid harsh cleaners and excessive water.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The trainers can handle light moisture, but they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended to maintain the material's condition.
What is the main style inspiration for the Tackle Trainers?
The PUMA Tackle Trainers are inspired by classic terrace footwear, featuring a retro sporty upper and an ultra-thin sole for a true vintage feel.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This guide pertains to the brown variant. Please check available listings for other color options.
How does the ultra-thin sole affect comfort?
The ultra-thin sole provides a genuine vintage feel and ground connection. For prolonged standing or activities requiring significant cushioning, users accustomed to thicker soles might find them less forgiving, though the textile cushioning adds some comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace tension. For a tighter fit, pull laces more firmly; for a looser fit, loosen them. Ensure you have the correct size; refer to sizing charts if unsure.
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try walking on different surfaces or ensure the sole is clean and dry. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Discoloration on leather or suede parts
Clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For suede, use a dedicated suede eraser or brush. Avoid excessive moisture. Consider using a leather or suede protector spray suitable for the materials.
Sole appears worn or slippery
Clean the sole thoroughly to remove dirt that can affect grip. If the tread pattern is significantly worn down, the shoes may need replacement for safety and traction.
