FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the Speedcat Ballet trainers are designed for casual wear and style, not for high-impact athletic activities like running. They offer comfort for walking and everyday use.
How do I clean the pink and white leather?
For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used, followed by conditioning. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the difference between Speedcat Ballet and standard Speedcat models?
The Speedcat Ballet line specifically incorporates design elements inspired by ballet flats, such as a sleeker silhouette and potentially softer materials, while retaining the motorsport-inspired DNA of the Speedcat series. Standard Speedcat models might have a more traditional athletic or motorsport shoe design.
Do the elastic straps offer adjustability?
The elastic straps are integrated for a secure, slip-on fit and do not typically offer manual adjustability. They are designed to stretch and conform to the foot.
What is the typical fit of these trainers?
These trainers generally follow standard PUMA sizing. However, due to the slip-on design and ballet-inspired silhouette, some users may prefer to try them on to ensure the best fit, especially if they have wider feet.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole provides some traction, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material.
What other colours are available?
The Speedcat Ballet series is available in various colourways, including variations of pink, silver, and white, depending on current stock and retailer availability.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try powdering the inside of the shoe with talcum powder or cornstarch, or ensure the insole is properly seated.
Elastic straps feel too loose or too tight
The elastic straps are designed for a snug fit. If they feel too tight, wear the shoes for short periods to gently stretch them. If they feel loose, ensure the foot is positioned correctly within the shoe.
Discoloration on the leather
Wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For persistent marks, consult a leather care specialist. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Compatibility: Designed for adult females, these trainers are suitable for general casual wear. They pair well with a variety of casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, skirts, and casual dresses.
Care: To maintain the appearance and condition of the leather upper, it is recommended to:
- Wipe clean: Use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust regularly.
- Avoid excessive moisture: Do not immerse in water. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Leather care products: Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Suede/Nubuck care (if applicable to specific parts): If any parts of the shoe feature suede or nubuck, use a specialized brush to maintain texture and remove dry dirt.
