Puma X-Ray 3 White Low sneakers Women

Puma is a German brand founded in 1948 by Rudolf Dassler, brother of the adidas founder.

The Puma Suede, a basketball shoe born in 1968 that became a streetwear classic, is the most recognisable silhouette.

Dry: a suede eraser and brush; avoid water which stains and stiffens the suede.

The brand makes both: lifestyle models (Suede, Cali, Club) and technical sport shoes for running and football.

Many Puma models have a slightly tapered shape; performance sport lines are more snug.

For running there are the technical lines with NITRO foam; lifestyle models are for daily use, not running.

Clean and fully dry, stuffed with paper to keep the shape, in an aired place away from heat and humidity.

Air the shoes after use, take out the insole if removable and let it dry; specific shoe deodorants also exist.

No: direct heat deforms glue and materials. Always air-dry them, even if it takes longer.

With laces of similar length and thickness to the originals; take the old lace as a size reference.

Yes: stuff them with socks or paper to keep the shape and pack them in a bag separate from clothes.

When the tread pattern is smooth on the contact zones, or the shoe leans sideways when placed on the floor.

Some leather models soften with wear; feeling them stiffer in the first days is normal.

It depends on the material: treated leather tolerates light rain; suede and canvas should be protected or avoided in heavy water.

A cobbler can stretch that exact spot, or you can use shoe-stretch sprays and trees.
