FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for serious running or marathons?
The PUMA Retaliate 2 Trainers are designed for moderate running and everyday activities. While they offer good cushioning, for serious or long-distance running, you might consider shoes specifically engineered for those demands.
How do I clean the `grippy zoned rubber outsole`?
The outsole can be cleaned with a stiff brush and water to remove embedded dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off to maintain grip.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash trainers, especially those with an `EVA midsole` and `synthetic sole`, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Hand cleaning as described in the care section is preferable.
What is `flatlock stitching` and how does it benefit me?
`Flatlock stitching` is a method of joining fabric that creates a flat, smooth seam. This reduces bulk and prevents chafing or irritation against your skin, enhancing overall comfort during activity.
Are these trainers true to size?
PUMA generally aims for true-to-size fits. However, individual foot shapes vary. We recommend consulting the PUMA size chart and considering any previous PUMA footwear experiences. If unsure, it's often best to try them on or order your usual size.
What does the `compression moulded EVA midsole` do?
The `compression moulded EVA midsole` provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption. It compresses under impact to soften landings and then rebounds, offering a responsive feel and reducing strain on your feet and joints during movement.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The PUMA Retaliate 2 Trainers feature a `textile upper` and are not designed to be waterproof. They offer some breathability but would not be suitable for heavy rain or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Adjust the `lace closure` to achieve a more custom fit. If discomfort persists, verify your size against PUMA's sizing guide, as an incorrect size can impact comfort and performance.
Squeaking sound while walking
Sometimes, new outsoles can squeak. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeaking persists or is accompanied by unusual wear, inspect the `synthetic sole` for defects.
Foot odor develops after wear
Ensure trainers are fully aired out between uses. Consider removing the insoles to dry them separately. Use moisture-wicking socks and a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the trainers to absorb smells.

Care
Proper care extends the life and appearance of your trainers:

- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles occasionally to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda to absorb moisture and smells.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
