FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
The Puma Retaliate 2 Trainers are designed for light to moderate running and everyday wear. For competitive long-distance running, you might consider shoes specifically engineered for that purpose, which often offer more specialized cushioning and support.
How do I choose the right size?
Puma typically runs true to size. We recommend measuring your foot length and referring to the standard Puma size chart. Always consider trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit, especially with socks you'd typically wear.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. We advise cleaning them with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air drying.
What kind of traction can I expect?
The `grippy zoned rubber outsole` provides reliable traction on standard surfaces like pavement, gym floors, and light trails. For extremely wet, muddy, or technical terrains, specialized footwear might offer better grip.
Is the EVA midsole durable?
Yes, the `compression moulded EVA midsole` is designed for lightweight performance with long-lasting durability, providing consistent cushioning and support over time for everyday and light athletic use.
Do these trainers provide arch support?
The trainers feature a `compression moulded EVA midsole` that offers general cushioning and support. The level of specific arch support is suitable for general use, but individuals with specific arch support needs may consider adding their preferred insoles.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Adjust the `lace closure` system. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot, not just at the top. Try different lacing techniques if standard lacing doesn't provide the desired fit.
Foot discomfort or rubbing during wear
Check your sock choice; thicker or thinner socks can affect fit. Ensure the `flatlock stitching` is not causing irritation. If discomfort persists, verify the size is correct and consider breaking them in with short periods of wear.
Loss of traction on certain surfaces
Clean the `grippy zoned rubber outsole` thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that might be reducing grip. Evaluate the surface; these trainers are designed for general use, and very wet or extremely slippery surfaces might require specialized footwear.

Care: To maintain the longevity and appearance of your Puma Retaliate 2 Trainers:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher dirt, a soft brush can be used gently.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
