FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The PUMA Lafrance trainers are designed as lifestyle sneakers for casual, daily wear, not as high-performance athletic running shoes.
What is the primary material used?
These trainers are primarily constructed with a durable leather upper.
How do I determine if 6.5 UK is the right size?
You should ensure there is a small gap (about a thumb's width) between your longest toe and the front of the shoe while standing.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, washing leather shoes in a machine will damage the material and structure. Always clean by hand using a damp cloth.
Is the leather water-resistant?
While leather is naturally resistant to light moisture, these are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to protect the longevity of the leather.
Are these unisex?
The PUMA Lafrance series includes options for both men and unisex sizing; please check the specific product label to confirm.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its luster
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine.
Difficulty putting on the shoe due to tight fit
Loosen the laces significantly before entry; do not force the heel in, as this damages the shoe structure.
Light scuffs on the black surface
Use a black leather polish or touch-up pen designed for footwear to blend the scuff with the surrounding leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your PUMA Lafrance trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Leather shoes may feel slightly stiff initially. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your feet.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or drying out.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. Use a leather-specific cleaner or conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
- Weather Protection: Consider using a leather-safe water-repellent spray if you live in an area with high rainfall, though avoid over-saturation.
- Fit: Ensure you are using the correct UK size as specified in your purchase to avoid premature wear on the heel counter caused by slippage.
