FAQs

How do I clean the Puma Carina 3.0 Childrens shoes?

Wipe the synthetic upper and rubber sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Air dry completely.

Are these shoes suitable for all types of sports?

These shoes are best suited for general active wear, light play, and indoor activities due to their non-marking outsole. For specialized sports requiring specific support or traction, dedicated athletic footwear might be more appropriate.

What does SOFTFOAM+ mean?

SOFTFOAM+ refers to Puma's comfort sockliner technology, designed to provide instant step-in comfort and soft cushioning throughout the day, particularly with an extra thick heel for added support.

Are these shoes environmentally friendly?

Yes, they incorporate recycled materials. The upper is made with at least 20% recycled content, and the bottom with at least 10% recycled materials, contributing to Puma's sustainability efforts.

What does 'non-marking rubber outsole' mean?

A non-marking rubber outsole is designed to provide good traction without leaving scuff marks or streaks on indoor surfaces like gym floors or polished tiles. This makes them ideal for school or indoor sports.

How do I ensure I choose the correct size for my child?

Measure your child's foot length from heel to longest toe and compare it to Puma's size chart. It's often best to try shoes on with the socks your child typically wears and ensure there's a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

The synthetic upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not waterproof. For heavy rain or very wet conditions, we recommend footwear specifically designed for waterproof protection.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the laces. If the problem persists, confirm the shoe size is correct for your child's foot length and width. Consider trying a different lacing technique.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure laces are tied securely, preferably with a double knot. You may consider replacing laces with a slightly rougher texture or elastic options if needed.

Shoes develop an odor.

Remove insoles and air out shoes after each use. If possible, wash insoles according to their care instructions. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Soles leave marks on floors (despite being non-marking).

Verify the surface is clean, as dirt or debris stuck to the sole can transfer. If marks persist, ensure the outsole itself is clean. In rare cases, extremely soft or freshly polished floors might still show faint scuffs from any footwear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional step-in comfort with SOFTFOAM+ cushioning.
  • Contributes to sustainability with significant use of recycled materials.
  • Secure and adjustable fit due to lace closure.
  • Non-marking outsole is ideal for indoor use (schools, gyms).
  • Durable and easy-to-clean synthetic upper.

Cons

  • Info needed: Specific breathability for hot weather.
  • Info needed: Water resistance for wet conditions.
  • Info needed: Arch support level for prolonged wear.
  • Lace closure might be less convenient for very young children compared to hook-and-loop fasteners.
  • Info needed: Specific durability for very high-impact or aggressive activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup and First Use

Simply unlace the shoes, have your child step in, and then lace them up, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. Double-knotting is recommended for active children to prevent laces from coming undone during play.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for general everyday wear and light to moderate activities for children. The non-marking sole makes them suitable for indoor sports and school use. They are compatible with standard children's athletic socks.

Care

To keep your Puma Carina 3.0 shoes in great condition:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic upper and rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
