FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for school sports?

Yes, their durable synthetic upper, comfortable cushioning, and non-marking outsole make them suitable for light school sports and physical education classes.

How do I measure my child's foot for the correct size?

Have your child stand on a piece of paper, trace their foot, then measure the longest part from heel to toe. Compare this measurement to Puma's size chart. It's always best to measure both feet and use the larger measurement.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.

What does 'non-marking outsole' mean?

A non-marking outsole means the rubber material used for the sole is designed not to leave scuff marks or streaks on indoor surfaces, such as gym floors or linoleum.

How do the recycled materials affect the shoe's durability?

The recycled materials are integrated without compromising the shoe's durability. Puma ensures that these materials meet quality standards, so the shoes remain robust for active wear.

Is the SOFTFOAM+ sockliner removable?

Info needed: Please refer to the product packaging or Puma's official website for details on whether the SOFTFOAM+ sockliner is designed to be removable for replacement or cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are tying a firm double knot. Consider replacing standard laces with slightly thicker or textured ones for better grip, or try different lacing techniques like the 'surgeon's knot' for increased security.

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Re-check the sizing. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks. Adjust the lace tension. If the discomfort persists, the size may be incorrect. Always measure your child's feet regularly as they grow.

Shoes appear dirty quickly, especially the white color.

Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a shoe cleaner specifically designed for synthetic materials can be used. Prompt cleaning after use will prevent dirt from setting in.

Child complains of discomfort or rubbing.

Check the fit again, ensuring laces are not too tight or too loose. Inspect for any debris inside the shoe. Ensure socks are smooth and fitted. If discomfort persists, this might indicate an incorrect size or a need for a different shoe style for their foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Puma Carina 3.0 Children's shoes is straightforward:

  1. Unpack: Remove shoes from packaging.
  2. Lace Up: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your child's foot in.
  3. Insert Foot: Help your child insert their foot, ensuring the heel is seated comfortably against the back of the shoe.
  4. Adjust Laces: Pull the laces firmly but not too tightly, starting from the toe area upwards, to achieve a secure and comfortable fit.
  5. Tie Bow: Tie a double knot if preferred for extra security during active play.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for:

  • Age Group: Kids, specifically in UK size 2.
  • Activity Level: Regular, active daily wear.
  • Surfaces: Suitable for various surfaces, including pavement, grass, and indoor flooring, thanks to the non-marking outsole.

Care

Proper care extends the life and appearance of the shoes:

  • Cleaning:
  • For minor dirt, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • For tougher spots, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used gently.
  • The non-marking outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
  • Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or dryers), as this can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Laces: Periodically check laces for wear and replace if frayed to maintain a secure fit.
