FAQs
What should I know about the sizing of these Puma Carina 2.0 Trainers?
It's important to note that the box or label may display a US/Euro size that differs from the UK size you ordered. The most reliable way to confirm fit is to try on the trainers. Always verify the fit before deciding to keep or return them.
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense workouts?
The Puma Carina 2.0 Trainers are designed for a 'casual look' and general everyday wear. While sporty, they are not engineered for high-impact activities like running or intensive sports. They are best suited for light walking and casual use.
What materials are these trainers made from?
The upper part of the trainers is made from a combination of Synthetic and Leather, providing durability and style. The sole is made from robust Rubber for good traction and longevity.
How do I clean my Puma Carina 2.0 Trainers?
For the synthetic/leather upper, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the rubber sole, use a soft brush and soapy water to clean the profiles. Always allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
What does 'slightly profiled sole' mean?
A 'slightly profiled sole' indicates that the rubber sole has a subtle textured pattern or shallow treads. This design enhances grip and traction, providing more stability than a completely smooth sole, making it suitable for various everyday surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Sizing on the box/label doesn't match the UK size I ordered.
The product description notes that the box or label may state a US/Euro size which differs from the UK size. Always try on the trainers to verify the fit, as the actual UK size should correspond to your order even if the packaging indicates a different regional size.
Trainers feel loose or unsupportive.
Utilize the adjustable lacing system. Ensure the laces are securely tightened and tied firmly, potentially using a double knot for extra security, to achieve a snug and supportive fit.
The sole seems to be losing grip.
Dirt and debris can accumulate in the 'slightly profiled' sole, reducing traction. Clean the rubber sole regularly with a soft brush and mild soapy water to maintain optimal grip.
Discoloration or scuffs on the synthetic/leather upper.
For light scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap can often remove marks. For deeper discoloration, consider using a sneaker cleaning kit appropriate for synthetic and leather materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Your Puma Carina 2.0 Trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply thread the laces through the eyelets and adjust them to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. It is highly recommended to try on the footwear before returning to ensure the size is correct, especially given that box/label sizing (US/Euro) may differ from the listed UK size.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adults and feature a female-oriented style, though their versatile aesthetic can appeal broadly. They are compatible with a wide array of casual clothing, from activewear to everyday jeans and skirts. Their low-top profile makes them suitable for various weather conditions, though not recommended for heavy rain or extreme cold due to material properties.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper (Synthetic/Leather): Wipe down the synthetic and leather portions with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Sole (Rubber): Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soapy water to scrub the profiled rubber sole. Rinse with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
