FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball?
These are classified as casual low shoes intended for lifestyle and everyday wear, not for competitive basketball games.
Do these fit true to size?
Most users find that PUMA footwear fits true to standard sizing, but it is recommended to check your measurement against the UK size chart.
How do I remove scuffs from the white upper?
A magic eraser or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of baking soda can often lift surface scuffs from white leather components.
Are these sneakers weather-resistant?
The materials are durable but not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep snow to prevent long-term damage.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can remove the existing insoles to replace them with custom orthotics or third-party cushioning if desired.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
Creasing is a natural result of the flexion of the shoe. Use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to minimize deep creases.
Stubborn surface stains
Gently apply a specialized leather cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft-bristled brush, then wipe clean immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your PUMA Ralph Sampson 70 Mid Draft shoes maintain their appearance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the exterior. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to crack or discolor.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain-repellent spray specifically formulated for leather sneakers to protect the white finish from dirt and moisture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees if you want to maintain the shape of the toe box when the shoes are not being worn for long periods.
