Puma Karmen II Trainers - Black - UK 6

Puma Karmen II Trainers are generally considered true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

While the leather upper offers some natural water resistance, these trainers are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to protect the leather and applying a suitable leather protector spray for light moisture protection.

For the platform sole and outsole, use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush with a mild soap solution and warm water. Scrub away dirt and grime, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

The platform sole does add some weight compared to a flat-soled trainer. However, they are designed to be comfortable for everyday wear, and most users adapt quickly to the feel. Info needed: [actual weight comparison if available].

These trainers are listed as 'Female' gender in the product attributes and are designed with women's sizing and aesthetic preferences in mind. While anyone can wear what they choose, the sizing (UK 6) corresponds to women's shoe sizes.

Info needed: [Whether the insole is removable and suitable for custom orthotics].

Leather shoes often require a breaking-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the material to mold to your foot. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

This can sometimes happen with new shoes or if insoles rub against the shoe's interior. Try sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch under the insole. If the squeak persists, check for any loose components in the sole.

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the area. For deeper scuffs, apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a colored leather polish (matching the black upper) with a clean cloth, then buff gently. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Ensure you are tying a proper 'reef knot' (square knot) for security. You can also try double-knotting or replacing the laces with a different material if the issue persists.

Allow your trainers to air out after each wear. Use moisture-wicking socks and consider shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
