FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for intense gym workouts?
While durable, the PUMA Lafrance is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily wear rather than high-intensity athletic performance.
How do I determine my size?
The trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size you typically wear in other PUMA footwear.
Can these be washed in a machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction of the shoe.
Does the leather require specific oiling?
It is not strictly necessary to oil them, but using a high-quality leather cream every few months can keep the material supple.
What is the primary material used?
The upper portion is primarily constructed from high-quality leather for a mix of style and robustness.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases
Use cedar shoe trees to help the trainers maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
Stiffness when new
Wear the shoes for short intervals initially or use a leather conditioner to help soften the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your PUMA Lafrance trainers stay in excellent condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: When you first receive your pair, wear them indoors for a few hours to ensure the leather adjusts to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dust after each wear. For deeper stains, use a damp cloth and mild leather-safe cleaner, ensuring you never submerge the shoes in water.
- Protection: Apply a leather protector spray to the black and grey panels to help repel water and prevent stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to fade or dry out over time.
