FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the PUMA Speedcat Ballet is designed as a fashion shoe with a motorsport-inspired silhouette and balletic elements. It is not intended for athletic performance or high-impact activities.

How do I determine my size?

These shoes are listed in UK adult female sizing. We recommend referring to PUMA's official size chart to ensure the best fit, especially if you are unsure of your UK shoe size. This specific model is a UK size 4.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in the rain or wet conditions, as water can stain or damage the material. If they do get wet, follow the care instructions provided to minimize damage.

What is the material of the shoe?

The upper part of the PUMA Speedcat Ballet in this variant is made from black suede, while the outsole is a durable black rubber.

How do I clean the white embroidered PUMA Cat branding?

For the embroidered branding, you can gently clean it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the stitching or surrounding suede.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

As a ballet-style flat, these shoes typically offer minimal arch support compared to athletic sneakers. They prioritize flexibility and a sleek profile for casual wear. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding a thin, non-bulky insert.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in small, circular motions or in one consistent direction to lift the fibers.

Shoes feel too tight or too loose after prolonged wear

The elasticated banding should provide a consistent fit. Ensure you selected the correct size (UK 4). If they feel tight, try wearing thin socks. If loose, consider wearing slightly thicker socks. Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear.

Visible dirt or light stains on the suede

For dry dirt, use a suede brush. For light stains, gently rub with a suede eraser. For more persistent marks, use a suede cleaning solution specifically designed for suede, following its instructions carefully and testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

First Use

Simply slip on your PUMA Speedcat Ballet shoes. The elasticated banding provides an immediate, secure fit. We recommend wearing them indoors for a short period first to ensure comfort.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for casual fashion wear. They pair well with a variety of outfits, from relaxed jeans and leggings to skirts and casual dresses, adding a touch of sporty elegance. They are not recommended for performance activities or formal occasions.

Care Instructions for Suede

Caring for your suede PUMA Speedcat Ballet shoes is crucial to maintain their appearance and longevity.

  1. Pre-Treatment: Before first wear, it's highly recommended to apply a suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Follow the product instructions carefully. Reapply periodically as directed by the spray manufacturer.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be used to rub away marks.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, lightly dampen a clean cloth with a small amount of suede cleaner or distilled water and gently blot the stain. Do not rub aggressively, as this can damage the suede. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  4. Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing these shoes in rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, blot excess water with a clean towel and let them air dry completely, stuffing them with paper to help maintain their shape.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free paper to help them retain their shape.

General Tips

  • Always clean your shoes promptly after they get dirty.
  • Never use harsh chemicals or detergents on suede.
  • Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
