FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
No, these shoes are designed for basketball and dynamic court movements. They provide specific support and traction for that sport, not the cushioning and stability required for long-distance running.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Lace the shoes up with the molded forefoot strap comfortably snug. Your heel should feel secure, and there should be a small amount of space at the toe. Refer to PUMA's sizing guide if unsure.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method to preserve the materials and structure.
What is the primary advantage of the molded forefoot strap?
The molded forefoot strap is designed to provide enhanced foot-locking support, improving stability and preventing excessive movement within the shoe during quick directional changes.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the upper is made of textile and synthetic materials designed for breathability, not waterproofing. They are not designed to be worn in wet conditions.
What does the butterfly graphic signify?
The butterfly graphic is a stylistic element adding to the retro basketball-inspired design of the MB.05 series.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and the molded forefoot strap. If still too tight, consider if this is the correct size or if the break-in period is needed.
Slipping during play
Ensure the laces and forefoot strap are tightened securely. Check the outsole for debris that might be affecting traction. The shoes are designed for court surfaces; performance may vary on other terrains.
Upper material feels stiff
The shoes are designed for support; wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. A gentle flexing of the shoe can also help during the break-in period.
Discoloration or material damage
Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive sunlight or heat. Follow the recommended cleaning instructions using only mild soap and water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup beyond lacing them up for a secure fit. Ensure the laces are tied appropriately to utilize the foot-locking support system.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for basketball performance on indoor courts. They are suitable for adult male athletes. The standard width and rounded toe accommodate most foot shapes.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Puma MB.05 Low Shoes:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and water to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
