Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Puma Velocity Nitro 5 trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during exercise.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few short walks or light runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Hand wash the shoes using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Never machine wash or tumble dry, as heat can degrade the foam's performance.
- Storage: Keep shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the upper materials to fade or weaken.
- Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating your shoes to allow the cushioning foam at least 24 hours to decompress.
