FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the PUMA R78 generally fits standard sizing, though it is recommended to use the UK size guide provided.
Can I use these for running?
These are primarily lifestyle trainers. While comfortable for walking, they lack the technical cushioning and support needed for distance running.
How do I clean the white upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Avoid submerging in water or using a washing machine, as this can damage the structural adhesives.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is standard width. If you typically require wide-fit shoes, you may want to consider sizing up or trying them on for fit.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the white materials to yellow over time.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the upper material
Use a shoe tree when not wearing to maintain the shape of the toe box.
Difficulty keeping the white exterior clean
Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for sneakers before the first use.
Laces coming undone frequently
Use a double-knot technique or replace with high-friction flat laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for an immediate 'out-of-the-box' fit. When wearing them for the first time, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension to prevent heel slippage. To maintain the white aesthetic, avoid wearing them in muddy or harsh weather conditions. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots on the upper. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
