Full details

These low-profile sneakers fuse retro sprinting-spike inspiration with a sculptural spiked outsole, providing both standout streetwear appeal and everyday wearability. Key features include a distinctive black and silver colorway, a durable combination of textile and leather upper, and a secure, adjustable hook-and-loop strap closure.

FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the Mostro Spikes design?
The PUMA Mostro Spikes design draws inspiration from two distinct eras: the sleek sprinting spikes of the 1960s and the relaxed surfing shoes of the 1980s, creating a unique retro-futuristic aesthetic.
Are the spikes on the sole sharp enough to be dangerous?
The spikes are designed for enhanced grip and style, not sharpness. They provide traction on various surfaces and are safe for everyday wear when used as intended.
Can I wear these trainers for running or athletic activities?
The Mostro Spikes are primarily designed for style and everyday traction. While they offer good grip, they are not optimized for high-impact athletic performance or technical sports.
How do I clean the Ortholite® insole?
The Ortholite® insole can usually be removed. Gently hand wash it with mild soap and water, then allow it to air dry completely before placing it back into the shoe.
What materials are the PUMA Mostro Spikes made from?
The shoes feature an upper made from textile with leather details, a textile lining, an Ortholite® foam insole, and a durable rubber outsole with a TPU strap insert.
Is the hook-and-loop strap adjustable?
Yes, the shoes feature a secure hook-and-loop (Velcro) strap closure with a TPU insert, allowing for an adjustable and secure fit.
What does the 'Mostro' name mean?
The name 'Mostro' is derived from the Italian word for 'monster,' reflecting the shoe's new, experimental, and avant-garde look when it was originally launched.
Troubleshooting
Strap closure not holding securely
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces are clean and free of lint or debris. Press firmly to engage the strap. If the hook-and-loop material is worn out, consider professional repair or replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the hook-and-loop strap for a more personalized fit. Ensure socks are worn to prevent friction. The shoes may require a brief break-in period.
Reduced grip on the sole
Clean the rubber spikes on the outsole thoroughly with a brush to remove trapped dirt, mud, or small stones that could impede traction.
Material discoloration or damage
Avoid exposing the trainers to excessive direct sunlight or heat, which can degrade materials. Follow the recommended care instructions for cleaning to prevent damage.
