Can I wear these shoes for sports or running?
No, these PUMA Speedcat Ballet Pumps are designed for casual wear and fashion purposes. They are not intended for athletic activities like running, training, or intense sports.
How do I clean the pink leather upper?
For general cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks or to maintain the leather's condition, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, ensuring it is suitable for colored leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you've selected the correct UK size 7. The elastic strap offers some flexibility, and leather may stretch slightly over time. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate sizing.
Leather appears dull, scuffed, or stained.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or polish specifically for pink leather. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
An unpleasant odour develops inside the shoes.
Allow the shoes to air out completely after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing). Wearing moisture-wicking socks can also help.
Elastic strap feels uncomfortable or rubs.
Initial wear can sometimes cause this; allow for a break-in period. Ensure the shoe size is correct. If irritation continues, check for any seams or irregularities that might be causing the issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions This section guides you on how to best use and maintain your PUMA Speedcat Ballet Pumps. ### Setup Simply slip on the pumps. The integrated elasticated strap is designed to provide a secure yet flexible fit, adapting to your foot as you wear them. ### Compatibility These ballet pumps are perfectly suited for casual and smart-casual attire. They complement outfits like jeans, shorts, skirts, and light dresses. Due to their design and material, they are not recommended for formal events or strenuous athletic activities. ### Care (Leather) Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your premium leather pumps. 1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the shoes with a soft, *damp cloth* to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for coloured leather, following the product's instructions. 2. Conditioning: Periodically apply a good quality leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, prevent cracking, and maintain its luster. Ensure the conditioner is appropriate for pink leather. 3. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains, especially given the pink colour. 4. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as these can dry out and damage the leather. 5. Storage: Store the pumps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
