FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Smash V2 L is a lifestyle trainer intended for casual, everyday use rather than high-impact athletic performance like running.
How do I interpret the sizing on the box?
Since international brands often print multiple sizes, ensure you are referencing the UK size specifically. If the shoe feels wrong, check the tag for the regional conversion.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these leather trainers as water immersion can damage the leather, distort the shape, and ruin the adhesive bonds.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Smash V2 L series is designed to be worn by anyone, offering a versatile fit for all foot types.
Does the leather require a break-in period?
While the material is soft, leather usually requires a few days of regular walking to fully conform to the unique shape of your foot.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels tighter than expected.
Leather will soften and stretch slightly with wear. Ensure you are wearing the intended thickness of sock and confirm the sizing tag wasn't misread as a US or Euro equivalent.
Scuffs appearing on the leather surface.
Use a matching black leather cream or polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the uniform finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Puma Smash V2 L trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fitting: Try the shoes on immediately upon receipt. Do not remove tags until you are satisfied with the fit, as sizing stamps inside the shoe or on the box might reflect Euro/US standards rather than UK sizing.
- Leather Care: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the leather. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the material.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or the glue bonds in the sole to weaken.
- Protection: Apply a leather-safe water-repellent spray if you plan to wear them in wet conditions to help preserve the finish.
