FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports activities?
No, while they draw inspiration from PUMA's motorsport heritage, the Speedcat Ballet shoes are designed for casual wear and fashion, not for athletic performance like running or intense sports.
How do I choose the correct size?
We recommend choosing your standard UK shoe size. The elasticated banding provides a secure fit. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying both to determine the best fit for your foot.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain due to the satin material, which can be easily stained or damaged by water. If they do get wet, air dry them immediately away from direct heat.
What is the PUMA Formstrip made of?
The Formstrip on the PUMA Speedcat Ballet Satin shoes is made of suede, providing a subtle textural contrast to the satin upper.
How can I protect the satin from future stains?
You can apply a fabric protectant spray specifically designed for satin or delicate textiles. Always test the product on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't alter the color or texture of the satin.
Are these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, with their soft satin upper and secure elastic fit, many find them comfortable for extended casual wear. However, comfort can vary by individual foot shape and preference.
Do these shoes come with a warranty?
Info needed: Please refer to the retailer's or PUMA's official warranty policy for specific details regarding product defects and returns.
Troubleshooting
Satin fabric looks dull or has a minor smudge
Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, clean, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a very small amount of mild soap solution diluted in water, applying it with the cloth, then wiping with a clean, damp cloth to remove residue.
Elastic banding feels too tight or uncomfortable
The elastic banding is designed for a secure fit. If it feels excessively tight, ensure you have the correct size. Over time, the elastic may slightly conform to your foot. For immediate relief, wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in.
Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole provides standard traction for casual wear. Exercise caution on very wet, icy, or highly polished surfaces. These shoes are not designed for maximum grip in extreme conditions.
Creasing appears on the satin upper
Satin can naturally crease with wear. To minimize permanent creases, store shoes properly (e.g., with shoe trees or stuffed with tissue paper) when not in use. Avoid bending or folding the shoes unnaturally.

Care Instructions
Due to the delicate satin material, proper care is essential to maintain the shoes' appearance and longevity.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or smudges, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, clean, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, but avoid saturating the satin.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or tumble dry these shoes, as it can damage the satin and alter the shoe's structure.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Protection: Consider using a fabric protectant spray specifically designed for satin or delicate materials to help repel water and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag to protect the satin from dust and potential snags. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful when wearing them to avoid scraping against rough surfaces that could snag or tear the satin.
