FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The X-Cell Ayro is optimized for everyday training. While capable of long distances, marathon runners may prefer shoes with more specialized cushioning systems for ultra-long efforts.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are designed for road use. The outsole is not equipped with the deep, aggressive lugs required for traction on loose or uneven trail terrain.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They feature a neutral structure designed for balanced mechanics. They do not have built-in high-stability arches for heavy overpronation.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
There should be approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
Can I replace the insole with custom orthotics?
Yes, the provided insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if necessary.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are made from breathable materials to keep feet cool. They are not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight across the bridge of the foot
Adjust the lacing technique to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure while maintaining overall stability.
Excessive moisture buildup during long runs
Remove the insoles after use to allow the interior of the shoe to air out fully, which helps manage moisture and odor.
Slippage during intense training
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly from the bottom up and that you are using the top-most eyelet for a 'runner's loop' to lock the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Puma X-Cell Ayro Trainers, proper care is essential:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short, low-intensity sessions for the first few days to allow the upper material to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. If the shoes are particularly dirty, wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Never machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the structural adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can warp the cushioning materials.
- Replacement: Depending on the frequency of use, inspect the outsole tread every 300-500 miles. When the traction pattern shows significant signs of smoothing, it is time for a replacement to maintain optimal safety.
