FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running or gym workouts?

The PUMA x ROSÉ Speedcat Trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, blending fashion with comfort. While they offer good grip and comfort, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense gym workouts.

How do I maintain the unique white ribbon laces?

The ribbon laces can be gently hand-washed with a mild detergent and allowed to air dry. Avoid machine washing to prevent damage. For stubborn stains, a gentle spot cleaner designed for fabric can be used carefully.

What does 'Ortholite insoles' mean for comfort?

Ortholite insoles are known for their long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. This provides superior comfort and support for your feet throughout the day, making the trainers comfortable for extended wear.

Is the 'Rosie' debossing on the tongue permanent?

Yes, the 'Rosie' branding is debossed into the tongue, meaning it's a permanent, textural part of the shoe's design and will not fade or wear off easily.

Can I replace the ribbon laces with standard flat laces?

While technically possible to change the laces, the long white ribbon laces are a key design feature of the Rosé collaboration. Replacing them would alter the intended aesthetic of the trainer. Standard flat laces might not fit the eyelets or overall look as well.

What is the 'Formstrip' and how do I clean it?

The 'Formstrip' is PUMA's iconic side stripe branding. On these trainers, it's a classic white. To clean it, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing to preserve the material.

Troubleshooting

Ribbon laces appear dirty or stained quickly

Gently hand-wash the laces with mild soap and water, then air dry. If heavily stained, consider replacing them with similar ribbon laces to maintain the unique look.

Leather upper shows scuffs or minor scratches

Clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper marks, apply a small amount of specialized black leather polish or conditioner, buffing gently to blend.

Foot discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the trainers are correctly sized and laced properly to provide adequate support. While Ortholite insoles offer comfort, assess if additional arch support or different socks might alleviate discomfort. If issues persist, consult a footwear specialist.

Rubber outsole losing grip on certain surfaces

Clean the outsole regularly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might reduce traction. Ensure the tread pattern is not excessively worn.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic appeal of your Speedcat Trainers.

  • Leather Upper: To clean the black leather, gently wipe with a damp, soft cloth. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • White Formstrip & Laces: These contrasting elements can show dirt more easily. For the formstrip, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. For the ribbon laces, they can often be hand-washed separately with a gentle detergent or replaced if severely stained.
  • Outsoles: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain grip.
  • Insoles: The Ortholite insoles can generally be removed and air-dried if they become damp or need freshening. Avoid machine washing them.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather degradation and fading.
