Puma Carina 2.0 - Black-Grey - 7 UK

No, while comfortable, these sneakers are designed for casual wear and light walking, not high-performance athletic activities like running, training, or strenuous sports. Their construction prioritizes style and everyday comfort over athletic support.

Gently wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for genuine leather, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the leather.

SOFTFOAM+ is Puma's step-in comfort sockliner. It's designed to provide soft cushioning and comfort all day long, thanks to its extra thick heel. This technology ensures a plush feel and excellent impact absorption with every step.

Based on standard sizing, Puma Carina 2.0 sneakers typically run true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. If you're unsure, it's recommended to consult a Puma size guide or try them on.

While the genuine leather offers some protection against light moisture, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather and internal cushioning. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

The PUMA Formstrip is the iconic wave-like design feature located on the medial and lateral sides of the sneaker. It's a signature element of Puma footwear, providing both brand recognition and a distinctive aesthetic.

Check if the insole is properly seated within the shoe. Sometimes, friction between the insole and the shoe's interior can cause squeaking. A sprinkle of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole can often reduce this friction. If the squeaking persists, it might be due to the outsole, which typically resolves with wear.

For light scuffs, gently rub the area with a soft, clean cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for genuine leather footwear. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth, following the product instructions, and buff gently. Testing on an inconspicuous area first is recommended.

After wearing, remove the insoles and allow the sneakers to air out completely. You can use a sneaker deodorizer spray or insert odor-absorbing sachets (e.g., cedar balls, baking soda pouches) when the shoes are not in use. Ensure the sneakers are fully dry before storage to prevent bacterial growth.

Laces are replaceable components. If your laces are showing signs of wear, simply purchase a new pair of laces of the appropriate length and color to maintain the look and functionality of your sneakers. PUMA often offers replacement laces or you can find universal ones.
