FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

PUMA sizing generally runs consistent, but due to the super-slim fit of the Speedcat Ballet style, some users might find them snug. It is recommended to choose your usual UK size. If you are between sizes or have wider feet, consider checking a size guide or trying them on.

Can I wear these for running or working out?

No, these trainers are not designed for running, high-impact sports, or intensive workouts. Their design prioritizes casual style and light activity. For athletic performance, PUMA offers a range of specialized sports shoes.

What materials are these trainers made from?

The PUMA Speedcat Ballet Trainers feature a durable leather upper for comfort and style, combined with a synthetic sole that provides grip and stability.

How do I clean the leather part of the trainers?

To clean the leather, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals and always allow them to air dry.

Do these trainers offer arch support?

These trainers are designed with a super-slim profile, which typically means they offer minimal dedicated arch support compared to athletic performance shoes. They are optimized for casual comfort and style.

Are these suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, for most casual activities, these trainers offer comfort for all-day wear due to their leather upper and slip-on design. However, individual comfort can vary based on foot shape and activity levels.

Can men wear these trainers?

While these trainers are specifically designed and marketed for females, style is personal. Anyone who appreciates the ballet-core and motorsport aesthetic and finds the fit comfortable can wear them.

How durable are the elastic straps?

The elastic straps are designed to provide a convenient slip-on fit. With regular use, like any elastic material, they may experience some stretching over time. Proper care, such as avoiding excessive pulling, can help maintain their integrity.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable across the foot.

Due to their super-slim design, these trainers might feel snug. Ensure you have the correct size. Over time, the leather upper may stretch slightly to conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, they may not be the ideal fit for your foot shape.

Elastic straps feel too loose or too tight.

The elastic straps are designed for a snug, slip-on fit. If they feel excessively loose, the trainers might be too big. If too tight, they might be too small or require a short break-in period. Monitor for any signs of stretching over time.

Scuff marks or minor scratches on the leather upper.

Gently clean the area with a damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, a leather polish or cream in a matching color can help to minimize their appearance. Always test any product on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced grip on wet or smooth surfaces.

While the race-inspired tread offers good stability, no sole is entirely slip-proof. Exercise caution on wet or extremely smooth surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris for optimal traction.

Unpleasant odor developing inside the trainers.

Allow trainers to air out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks to absorb moisture. Do not machine wash.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your PUMA Speedcat Ballet Trainers, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper:
  • Gently wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth.
  • For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to the product's instructions.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the leather.
  • After cleaning, allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
  1. Maintaining Leather:
  • Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking.
  1. Cleaning the Synthetic Sole:
  • Wipe the sole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt and debris.
  • For stubborn grime, a mild soap solution can be used.
  1. Drying: Always air dry your trainers completely. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  2. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation.
  3. Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge your trainers in water, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
