FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Softride Mayve offers good cushioning for road running, making them suitable for marathons for runners with a neutral gait. However, for very high-mileage training or competitive racing, some runners may prefer shoes with more advanced or specialized cushioning technologies.
What is the main difference between these and other Puma running shoes?
The Softride Mayve is specifically designed with a 'Women's Fit,' meaning its volume and instep height are engineered for the female foot. They also emphasize soft cushioning via the SoftFoam+ sockliner, making them ideal for neutral pronators on road surfaces.
How do I know if I have a neutral pronation?
Neutral pronation means your foot rolls inward a normal amount upon landing. You can often tell by looking at the wear pattern on your old shoes; a neutral pronator typically has even wear across the heel and forefoot. Observing your foot's arch height (medium arches are common) and how it behaves during a run can also indicate neutral pronation.
Can I wear these shoes for walking or everyday use?
Yes, the comfort and cushioning provided by the SoftFoam+ sockliner make the Softride Mayve suitable for walking and general casual wear for those who prefer a supportive and cushioned athletic shoe.
What does 'Forever Better' mean in relation to these shoes?
'Forever Better' is Puma's commitment to sustainability. For the Softride Mayve, this means the shoe's upper is made with at least 20% recycled material, contributing to a reduced environmental impact.
How much recycled material is in the shoe?
The upper of the Puma Softride Mayve trainers is made with at least 20% recycled material.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Puma Softride Mayve trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for running and general wear and are breathable, which means they will not keep feet dry in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly snug, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in, or consider using thinner socks.
Reduced cushioning after some use
The SoftFoam+ sockliner may compress over time. While designed for durability, consider replacing the sockliner if significant cushioning loss occurs. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn.
Discomfort during runs
Verify the shoes are appropriate for your pronation type. If you have significant overpronation or supination, these neutral shoes may not provide adequate correction. Consult with a running specialist.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the sockliner and the midsole. Try removing the sockliner, drying both components thoroughly, and then reinserting.
