FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Karmen II Idol SD generally fits true to size for a standard UK fit, though the platform design provides a slightly structured feel.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are fashion lifestyle trainers and are not designed for running or high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the rubber platform sole?
You can clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid getting water on the suede upper during this process.
Is the sockliner removable?
The SOFTFOAM+ sockliner is designed to provide optimal comfort as part of the shoe construction; it is not recommended to remove it.
Are these suitable for rainy weather?
Due to the suede construction, it is best to avoid heavy rain unless the shoes have been treated with a high-quality protective spray.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material in a consistent direction.
Shoes feel too tight during the day
Adjust the lace tension at the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling, which often occurs after extended walking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your PUMA Karmen II Idol SD trainers, it is essential to treat the suede upper with a water and stain repellent spray before the first wear. Avoid machine washing or drying the shoes, as this can damage the suede texture and the adhesive of the platform sole. If they become dirty, use a specialized suede brush to lift surface dust and a suede eraser for localized marks. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the purple suede.
