Troubleshooting
Visible dust or dry dirt on the suede
Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to gently stroke the nap of the material in one direction.
Stains appearing on the suede surface
Use a specialized suede eraser or a light application of suede cleaner; never rub aggressively as it can damage the material texture.
Shoes becoming damp from rain

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your PUMA Suede trainers, avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture. Instead, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dust and dirt after use. For tougher stains, apply a mild suede-specific cleaner with a soft cloth. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Compatibility is best maintained by checking your standard UK sizing before purchase, as the fit is designed to be true-to-size for most adults.
