Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Refer to the Puma sizing chart and consider the regular width and rounded toe design. If still unsure, try them on in-store if possible or consult customer reviews for fit guidance.
Laces difficult to secure with cover
Ensure laces are tied snugly but not overly tight before engaging the lace cover. Adjust the lace tension as needed for a comfortable fit.
Exterior scuff marks
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently remove scuff marks. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
