FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are fashion trainers designed for casual, lifestyle use and lack the technical features required for running.
Do the trainers run true to size?
Yes, they feature a regular fit that generally corresponds to standard UK sizing.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the SOFTFOAM+ sockliner can be removed if you prefer to use your own custom orthotics.
How do I care for the leather?
Clean regularly with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
Is the platform sole flexible?
The platform sole is designed for stability and durability, so it is stiffer than lightweight running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather will naturally stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them for short periods indoors to break them in before extended use.
Difficulty cleaning white leather
Use a mixture of mild soap and water on a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the leather finish.
Laces coming untied
Double-knot the laces or ensure they are laced securely through the top eyelet to create a tighter lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your PUMA Karmen II Idol trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Maintenance: For stubborn scuffs on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft brush.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lace-up closure, allowing for a personalized fit. They are compatible with most standard orthotic inserts if you need to swap out the stock SOFTFOAM+ sockliner.
