FAQs
Are PUMA RS-X sneakers waterproof?
No, they are made with mesh and synthetic leather which are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they are inspired by '80s running designs, they are primarily lifestyle sneakers and are not intended for professional running or high-impact athletic training.
How do I ensure I choose the right size?
The RS-X series generally runs true to standard PUMA athletic sizing. If you have worn PUMA trainers before, you should select your standard size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
Machine washing is not recommended as the agitation and heat can damage the synthetic leather overlays and the structural integrity of the molded heel patch.
What materials are used in the PUMA RS-X?
The construction features a mix of mesh, synthetic leather, Lycra side panels, and TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) accents.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help the material maintain its shape.
Difficulty removing surface scuffs
Gently wipe the synthetic leather with a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a soft cloth moistened with diluted mild detergent.
Mesh becoming discolored
Use a dry, soft brush to agitate dirt out of the mesh holes before using a very small amount of water to blot the area clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your PUMA RS-X trainers last, avoid submerging them in water, as this can degrade the synthetic leather and glue bonds. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and a damp cloth with mild soap for the synthetic leather sections. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking or warping. If storing for long periods, keep them in a cool, dry place with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
