FAQs
What type of player is this shoe best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for agile, quick players who prioritize ankle mobility and responsiveness on the basketball court. They are particularly suited for guards and players who perform a lot of lateral movements and quick cuts.
Can I use these for outdoor basketball?
While the outsole is durable, it's primarily designed for indoor court traction. Extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may lead to premature wear of the rubber outsole.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the size guide and measure your foot length. The MB.05 Flutter trainers are listed in UK adult men's sizes. They have a standard width and a rounded toe.
What is the primary benefit of the molded forefoot strap?
The molded forefoot strap is designed to enhance lockdown, providing a more secure and stable fit across the forefoot, which is crucial for preventing slippage during intense movements.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are made from textile and synthetic materials that are breathable but will absorb water if exposed to wet conditions.
What is the main difference between the MB.05 Flutter and other MB.05 models?
The 'Flutter' designation typically refers to specific colorways and graphic details, such as the butterfly accent in this model, while maintaining the core performance features of the MB.05 series.
How should I clean the butterfly graphic?
Clean the graphic gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh cleaning agents that could damage the printed design.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during wear.
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and adjust for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.
Traction is reduced on the court.
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the court surface is clean.
Upper materials feel stiff.
The shoes are designed for a secure fit; wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Continued use will soften the materials.
Odors develop after use.
Allow shoes to air dry completely between uses. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Puma MB.05 Flutter trainers come ready to wear. Ensure they fit comfortably by lacing them securely using the provided laces. The lace-up closure allows for adjustment to achieve a personalized snug fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are primarily designed for indoor basketball courts. Their outsole is optimized for grip on clean, smooth surfaces. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.
Care Instructions: To maintain the condition of your MB.05 Flutter trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the textile and synthetic upper with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Clean the synthetic midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Ensure all dirt and debris are removed from the outsole treads for optimal grip.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
