FAQs

What is `IMEVA`?

`IMEVA` stands for Injection Moulded EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate). It's a lightweight foam material used in midsoles to provide cushioning, flexibility, and comfort without adding significant weight to the shoe.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the PUMA Speedcat OG Trainers, with their suede upper, are not waterproof. Suede is sensitive to moisture, and exposure to water can cause staining or damage. It's recommended to use a protective spray and avoid wet conditions.

How do I choose the correct size?

These trainers are listed in UK adult foot sizes. It's generally recommended to choose your standard shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both or consulting a PUMA sizing chart for precise measurements. Info needed: Specific fit recommendations (e.g., runs true to size, runs narrow).

Can I wear these for sports or running?

While inspired by motorsport, the PUMA Speedcat OG Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and street style. Their low-profile and lightweight construction offers comfort for driving and everyday activities, but they are not engineered for high-impact sports or running, which require specialized support and cushioning.

What does 'Leather Working Group' mean?

The Leather Working Group (LWG) is a multi-stakeholder group that assesses and certifies environmental performance of tanners and leather manufacturers. PUMA's association with LWG indicates a commitment to responsible and sustainable manufacturing practices for its leather products.

How do I remove scuff marks from the white Formstrip?

For scuff marks on the white Formstrip, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of mild soap and water. Avoid getting excessive moisture on the suede. For tougher marks, a shoe cleaner designed for synthetic materials might be effective, applied carefully.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and restore its texture. Brush in the direction of the fibers.

Visible dirt or light stains on suede.

Use a suede eraser to gently rub away the dirt. For more persistent stains, a damp cloth with a small amount of suede cleaner can be used, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. The low-profile design is naturally snug. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the suede to conform to your foot shape. Thinner socks might also help.

Outsole grip seems reduced.

Clean the rubber outsole regularly with warm water and mild soap to remove accumulated dirt or debris that might be impacting traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions (Suede):

Proper care will preserve the look and longevity of your suede trainers.

  1. Brush Regularly: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  2. Spot Clean Stains: For stubborn spots, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Apply sparingly and follow product instructions.
  3. Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Avoid wearing your trainers in wet conditions. If they get wet, blot gently with a clean cloth and let them air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  4. Protection Spray: Consider using a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to create a barrier against stains and moisture.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. You can use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
