A slim silhouette, grey-and-white colourway and low profile: the Puma Speedcat OG Cool Mid Gray-White immediately appeals to fans of retro racing shoes and casual trainers. However, an attractive photo does not tell you everything about the fit, materials or suitability for everyday use. When buying shoes online, you could end up with a model that feels too tight, is difficult to care for or proves less suitable for long days.
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I filter product information based on verifiable points. Below, you’ll find what to look for when considering the Puma Speedcat OG and similar shoes before selecting a size.
The Speedcat has a streamlined, low-profile design inspired by motorsport. That gives the shoe its distinctive look, but a slim appearance does not automatically mean that every foot will have the same amount of room. The available product information states a regular fit and a rounded toe. If you have wide feet or wear thicker socks, check the sizing information and returns policy carefully.
“Cool Mid Gray-PUMA White” is a versatile combination, but the finish and material also affect how the shoe can be used in practice. The Puma Speedcat has a leather upper, a textile lining and rubber sole components. Leather requires different care from mesh or synthetic materials. If you’re looking for a trainer that can go in the washing machine with minimal maintenance, this type of upper may not be the most practical choice.
The product description calls the Speedcat suitable for casual everyday use and presents the model as a shoe that combines style and comfort. That is not a technical classification for running, intensive training or prolonged outdoor work. The flat heel and rubber outsole are suited to a lifestyle silhouette. For intensive sport, choose a model whose cushioning, support and intended use have been specifically designed for it.
The Puma trainers with a leather upper offer a smoother appearance that works well with streetwear, jeans and chinos. The lining is made from textile. The product details mention IMEVA as a material used to create a lightweight construction. These are specific material descriptions; they do not guarantee that every wearer will experience the same fit or comfort.
Compare this with a trainer featuring a mesh upper, such as the Skechers Track-Ripkent. Mesh may feel more breathable for some users, while leather offers a more enclosed and polished appearance. Your choice therefore depends on your priority: a retro look and distinctive material finish, or a sportier upper.
The Speedcat uses a rubber midsole and outsole and has a flat heel. The product information mentions a rubber sole with grip. The sole construction supports the shoe’s low profile, but it is not a reason to consider the model a running shoe.
When comparing models, pay attention to:
The Puma Speedcat 398846-05 is offered in several EU sizes, including 36, 37, 37.5, 38, 38.5, 39, 40, 41 and 42. The product information states a regular fit, but does not provide a general foot length in centimetres. Measure both feet at the end of the day and compare the longer foot with the seller’s size chart.
Going half a size up is not automatically the solution for a wide foot. Extra length may make the heel feel less secure. Also check whether you generally wear thin or thicker socks.
Why it suits this profile: A practical option for anyone looking for a sportier appearance and a mesh upper for everyday use.
The product information states that it has a soft mesh upper and a Memory Foam insole. This makes the material clearly different from leather, so your choice is less dependent on leather care.
Mesh upper, lace fastening and a rubber sole; the listed size is EU 44.
Why it suits this profile: For men looking for a recognisable retro racing shoe with a leather upper for outfits at the office, around town and at the weekend.
The product code 398846-05, colour and material composition are clearly stated. This allows you to check that you’re choosing the correct version rather than relying on the photo alone.
Leather upper, textile lining, IMEVA material and rubber sole components; flat heel and regular fit.
Why it suits this profile: For anyone deliberately choosing a durable, low-profile casual trainer with a rubber outsole for regular use around town.
The flat heel, lace fastening and rubber outsole are described clearly. This makes it clear in advance that this is a lifestyle trainer, not a specialised running shoe.

First remove dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. Then, if necessary, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air-dry and avoid direct heat and prolonged exposure to sunlight. The product information advises against machine washing and tumble drying. Before using a care product, check that it is suitable for the type of leather in question.
Puma states that, according to its own information, leather products are supported by responsible production through the Leather Working Group. This is a brand statement about the supply chain, not a general guarantee of the performance or lifespan of every shoe.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
The product description positions the model as a casual trainer for everyday use and mentions a cushioned sole and breathable properties. However, the Speedcat has a low profile, flat heel and regular fit. Whether it is suitable for long days depends on your feet, socks and personal preferences.
The available information states a regular fit, but there is no universal sizing guarantee. Compare your usual EU size with the size chart and measure your feet beforehand. If you’re unsure, the returns policy and the specific size available are more important than general advice about Puma trainers with a leather upper.
Lifespan depends on how often you wear them, the surface, weather, fit and care. The shoe has a leather upper and rubber sole components, but the product information does not state a fixed period of use. Regular cleaning, drying without direct heat and alternating with a second pair can help keep the material looking good for longer.
