FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the PUMA Ralph Sampson Lo generally fits true to size, but if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider going up a half size.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball, these are designed as lifestyle sneakers. They lack the specialized cushioning and ankle support needed for modern competitive play.
How do I keep the white leather clean?
Regularly wipe them down with a damp cloth and use leather cleaning products specifically designed for white athletic footwear.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fit is standard, but the lacing system allows for some adjustment in width to accommodate different foot shapes.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather near the toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.
Scuff marks on the white exterior
Use a specialized white leather eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of non-gel toothpaste to gently buff out surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your PUMA Ralph Sampson Lo shoes remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Breaking In: The shoes typically require minimal break-in time, but wearing them for short periods during the first week will ensure a custom fit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the exterior leather. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray to repel dirt and minor liquids, which helps keep the white finish bright.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white material from yellowing over time.
