FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all types of running?

The PUMA Axelion Block Running Shoes are well-suited for general running, daily jogs, and treadmill use due to their comfort and stability features. However, for specialized activities like competitive long-distance running, trail running, or sprinting, you might benefit from shoes designed with more specific features for those disciplines.

How do I determine my correct size?

It is recommended to refer to PUMA's official size chart, as sizing can vary slightly between brands and models. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. If you are between sizes, consider ordering the larger size for comfort.

Can I wear these shoes for other activities besides running?

Absolutely! Their comfortable design, stable construction, and stylish aesthetic make them excellent for gym workouts, walking, casual everyday wear, and light athletic activities.

Are the PUMA Axelion Block shoes waterproof?

The textile upper provides breathability and a lightweight feel, but it is not inherently waterproof. In wet conditions, your feet may get damp. For waterproof protection, look for shoes specifically designed with waterproof membranes.

What is the purpose of the TPU shank?

The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) shank is a supportive element integrated into the midfoot of the shoe. Its purpose is to provide torsional rigidity and stability, preventing excessive twisting of the foot and offering arch support, which can improve comfort and reduce fatigue during activity.

How often should I replace my running shoes?

The lifespan of running shoes depends on factors like mileage, running style, and surface. Generally, it's recommended to consider replacing running shoes every 300-500 miles, or every 6-12 months, as cushioning and support degrade over time, even if the exterior looks fine.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or rub in certain areas.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Re-lace the shoes, making sure not to overtighten. Give them time to 'break in' as the textile upper adapts to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size.

Squeaking sound while walking or running.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and placing a thin layer of baby powder or fabric softener sheet underneath the insole to reduce friction. Check if the outsole is clean and dry.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces.

Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly to ensure maximum contact with the ground. If the tread is significantly worn, it might be time to consider replacing the shoes for optimal safety.

Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.

After each use, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air out completely. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda in socks inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Ensure shoes are always dried properly after getting wet.

Setup and First Use Simply lace up your PUMA Axelion Block Running Shoes to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent slippage and provide adequate foot support. Adjust tightness to your preference, making sure it's not too tight to restrict circulation nor too loose to cause rubbing. ## Compatibility These shoes are designed for adult males (UK sizes 7.5-12 available). They are compatible with a variety of athletic and casual apparel, making them a versatile addition to your wardrobe. Ideal for general running, gym workouts, walking, and everyday casual wear. ## Care and Maintenance To ensure the longevity and appearance of your PUMA Axelion Block Running Shoes, follow these care instructions: - Cleaning: Gently wipe the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher dirt on the rubber outsole, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and construction. - Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause material breakdown. - Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. - Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight to absorb moisture and neutralize smells.
