Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your PUMA Carina 3.0 Trainers is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.

- Outfit Versatility: The classic, tennis-inspired design makes them highly versatile, suitable for pairing with a wide range of casual attire.
- Activity: Ideal for daily wear, school, casual walks, and light recreational activities.
Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Uppers (Leather and Synthetic Mix): Gently wipe the synthetic and leather upper surfaces with a damp, soft cloth. For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water, applying it sparingly to the affected area. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the shoe's finish.
- Cleaning the Rubber Outsole: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt from grooves if necessary.
- Insole Care: The SOFTFOAM+ insole is 100% textile. If it gets damp or dirty, remove it if possible to air dry separately. Do not machine wash.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), which can cause materials to warp or crack. Do not tumble dry.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
