FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the PUMA Smash v2 is a casual lifestyle sneaker and does not contain the advanced cushioning or stability technology required for running.
How do I determine if size 8.5 is right for me?
The PUMA Smash v2 generally fits true to size. We recommend measuring your foot against PUMA's official size guide for the most accurate match.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the agitation and heat can damage the adhesives and structural components.
Does the gold logo fade?
The logo is designed for durability, but consistent friction or abrasive cleaning can lead to gradual wear. Gentle cleaning is advised.
Are these considered waterproof?
No, these shoes are made of standard materials and are not water-resistant or waterproof.
Can I replace the insoles with orthotics?
Yes, the standard insoles can typically be removed to accommodate custom orthotic inserts.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot if the laces are slippery, or consider replacing them with textured cotton laces for better friction.
Accumulation of dust or dirt in the texture
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the crevices without damaging the surface material.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when the shoes are not being worn to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your PUMA Smash v2 remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Like most durable footwear, these may feel slightly firm at first; allow a few days of light walking for the materials to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial chemicals that may affect the gold detailing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black color from fading over time.
- Compatibility: These shoes feature a standard lace-up system, allowing for adjustable tightness to accommodate various foot widths and sock thicknesses.
