FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

PUMA Speedcat Ballet shoes generally fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. The elasticated banding provides a secure, adaptable fit.

Can I wear these in the rain?

Due to the suede material, it's best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain. Suede can be sensitive to water and may stain or become damaged. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance for light dampness.

How do I clean the black suede?

For black suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The PUMA Speedcat Ballet features a standard width. While the elasticated banding offers some flexibility, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. We recommend trying them on to ensure comfort.

What kind of activities are these shoes designed for?

These shoes are designed for casual wear, light walking, and everyday fashion. They are not intended for athletic activities like running, extensive hiking, or sports, which require specialized performance footwear.

Does the rubber outsole provide good grip?

Yes, the black rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable grip on typical urban surfaces, contributing to stability and comfort during casual wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or discolored.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in short, even strokes in one direction. For persistent discoloration, a suede eraser can help lift superficial marks.

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

The elasticated banding is designed for a secure fit. If too tight, try wearing thin socks initially. If too loose, consider an insole for better cushioning and a slightly snugger fit.

Shoes are squeaking when I walk.

This can sometimes happen with new rubber soles. Try sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction, or rub a thin layer of petroleum jelly on the outsole.

Water stains on suede.

Allow the shoes to dry naturally, then use a suede brush to lift the nap. For more stubborn stains, a commercial suede cleaner might be needed, applied sparingly with a clean cloth.

Scuff marks on the rubber outsole.

Minor scuffs on the rubber outsole can often be removed with a clean eraser or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Wipe gently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Simply slip them on; the elasticated banding ensures a secure, ready-to-wear fit. No breaking-in period is typically required, though initial wear can help the suede conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility:

These ballet shoes are designed for casual to smart-casual wear. They complement a wide range of outfits, from jeans and leggings to dresses and skirts. Their sleek profile makes them suitable for daily wear, light social events, and commuting.

Care:

As these shoes are made of suede, proper care is essential to maintain their appearance and longevity.

  1. Initial Protection: Treat new suede shoes with a suede protector spray before first wear to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing. For dried stains, use a suede brush and eraser. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be used, following product instructions carefully.
  4. Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with paper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  6. Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
