FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
The Puma Retaliate 2 Trainers, with their compression moulded EVA midsole, offer lightweight performance and durability suitable for daily runs and general fitness activities. For competitive or very long-distance running, you might consider shoes with more specialized cushioning or stability features.
How should I clean the textile material of these trainers?
To clean the textile upper, gently wipe it with a clean, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Let them air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What kind of support do these trainers offer?
They feature a padded ankle collar for comfort and a compression moulded EVA midsole for lightweight cushioning and support. The overall design provides balanced support for everyday activities and general running.
Are these trainers true to size?
Puma footwear generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, it's often advisable to consult a size chart or try them on if possible.
Can I use these trainers for cross-training or gym workouts?
Yes, their stable design, comfortable fit, and grippy outsole make them suitable for light gym workouts, short cardio sessions, and general athletic activities that do not require highly specialized athletic footwear.
Do these trainers have good breathability?
The textile upper material typically offers good breathability, helping to keep your feet comfortable during wear. However, breathability can vary based on individual activity levels and environmental conditions.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel loose or unsupportive.
Re-lace the trainers, ensuring even tension from the toes to the ankle. Experiment with different lacing patterns if your feet have a unique shape. Ensure your socks are not too thin or thick for the shoe.
Foot friction or rubbing during wear.
Check if the laces are too tight or too loose. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. The flatlock stitching is designed to minimize friction, so prolonged issues may indicate a sizing mismatch.
Outsole traction seems reduced.
Clean the grippy zoned rubber outsole thoroughly. Dirt, mud, or small debris can accumulate in the treads and reduce effectiveness. Use a brush and water to remove foreign material.
Trainers are difficult to put on/take off.
Fully loosen the laces before attempting to put on or take off the trainers. Utilize the heel and tongue pull tabs as intended to aid entry and exit without excessive force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets. Adjust the tension evenly across your foot for a snug, yet comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation, or leaving too loose, which can cause instability.
- Pull Tabs: Utilize the heel and tongue pull tabs to assist in putting on the trainers, preventing damage to the heel collar and ensuring a smooth entry for your foot.
Compatibility:
- These trainers are designed for adult male feet, available in various UK sizes. Always refer to your standard shoe size for the best fit.
- They are suitable for a wide range of activities including running (daily, recreational), casual wear, and light athletic activities.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the textile upper with a clean, damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the fabric. Let them air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber outsole regularly to remove dirt, pebbles, or mud that could impact traction.
- Drying: Never machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Allow them to air dry naturally.
- Odor Control: To prevent odors, remove insoles after particularly sweaty activities and allow both the insoles and trainers to air out. Consider using shoe deodorizers if needed.
