FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for serious long-distance running?
The Retaliate 2 Trainers are designed for running and everyday use, offering lightweight performance and comfort for general activity. For highly intensive or competitive long-distance running, specialized running shoes often provide more advanced cushioning and support features tailored to those demands.
What materials are the trainers made from?
These trainers feature a textile upper, a textile lining for breathability, and a synthetic sole for durability, complemented by a compression moulded EVA midsole for lightweight cushioning.
How do I maintain the grip on the outsole?
Regularly inspect and clean the grippy zoned rubber outsole. Remove any embedded dirt, small stones, or mud using a damp cloth or soft brush to ensure optimal traction.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section.
Do these trainers provide good arch support?
The compression moulded EVA midsole provides lightweight performance and cushioning, which contributes to general foot support for everyday wear and light running. For individuals with specific arch support needs, custom insoles may be considered.
Are these trainers true to size?
PUMA footwear typically runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel uncomfortable or rub during wear
Ensure the lace closure is adjusted correctly – not too tight or too loose. Experiment with different lacing techniques. Check your sock type for proper fit and material.
Slipping sensation on certain surfaces
Inspect the grippy zoned rubber outsole for dirt, debris, or excessive wear. Clean the outsole thoroughly to restore traction. If the outsole is significantly worn, consider replacement.
Foot feels too warm or sweaty
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks made of moisture-wicking materials. Allow trainers to air out thoroughly between uses. Remove insoles to air dry if possible.
