PUMA Carina - Black - 3 UK

The PUMA Carina sneakers are tennis-inspired in style and offer excellent comfort for daily wear and light activity. However, they are not specifically designed for high-performance sports or specialized athletic training. For intense sports, we recommend specialized athletic footwear.

SOFTFOAM+ is a PUMA technology that provides superior cushioning and comfort the moment you step into the shoe, and maintains that comfort throughout the day. It adapts to the foot for a personalized feel.

You can easily clean the synthetic upper by wiping it with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the materials and overall integrity of the shoe.

Yes, the PUMA Carina sneakers incorporate recycled materials as part of PUMA's commitment to sustainability. The upper contains at least 20% recycled content, and the sole contains at least 10% recycled content, contributing to a more environmentally conscious product.

PUMA Carina shoes are generally true to size for children. However, foot sizes can vary, so we always recommend consulting PUMA's official size guide for precise measurements and comparing them to your child's foot length before purchasing. Regular checks for fit are advised as children grow.

These shoes are designed for general everyday wear. While the synthetic upper offers some resistance to light moisture, they are not waterproof and not recommended for heavy rain, snow, or extreme wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the materials.

The PUMA Carina refers to the original series, while Carina 3.0 indicates a newer iteration or updated design within the same line. Both maintain the core aesthetic and comfort focus, with 3.0 potentially featuring minor material or design refinements. This specific product is from the original Carina series.

Ensure the correct size was purchased. For kids' shoes, growth spurts can quickly change fit, so regularly check for proper sizing. Also, check if socks are too thick, or if laces are tied too tightly. The SOFTFOAM+ sockliner should provide initial comfort, but a correct fit is paramount.

The synthetic upper is generally easy to clean. Wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap regularly to prevent dirt buildup. For scuffs, a soft eraser or dedicated sneaker cleaner designed for synthetic materials can be effective. Consistent light cleaning is key.

Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear, especially after active periods. Remove insoles to air dry separately. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out thoroughly in the morning. Odor-absorbing inserts can also be used.
