FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the PUMA Speedcat Ballet is a fashion-focused shoe inspired by motorsport heritage and is not designed for athletic performance.
How should I clean the pink patent leather?
Wipe the patent leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a clean cloth.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear the patent leather and suede in wet conditions, as water can damage the suede and affect the appearance of the patent finish.
What is the main difference between this and original Speedcats?
This Ballet version is a fashion-forward reimagining with a focus on aesthetic appeal, featuring a patent upper and specific styling, whereas original Speedcats were more directly influenced by racing footwear.
How do I care for the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to clean away dirt and dust. Protect the suede from moisture and stains.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
Given the low-profile nature of the shoe, if you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for a potentially more comfortable fit, especially if you prefer more room in the toe box.
Troubleshooting
Patent finish appears dull or scuffed
Gently clean the patent area with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs, try a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly applied with a soft cloth, then buffed to a shine.
Suede feels stiff or has marks
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a professional suede cleaner.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Wear the shoes with socks around the house for a short period to allow them to stretch slightly. Avoid excessive force or manipulation that could damage the materials.
