FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find the PUMA Carina 3.0 fits true to size, though if you prefer a roomier fit or plan to wear thick socks, some opt for a half-size up.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers and do not contain the specific cushioning or support required for running or high-intensity athletic activities.
Are they waterproof?
While the leather upper provides some protection against light moisture, they are not waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
How do I remove scuffs from the leather?
Light scuffs can usually be removed with a clean, damp cloth and a small amount of non-abrasive soap. For stubborn marks, use a white leather-specific cleaner.
Is the insole removable?
The insoles in the Carina 3.0 are generally designed to be standard, but you can replace them with your own orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
This is normal for leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
Difficulty keeping the white exterior clean
Use a magic eraser or a soft-bristled brush with a gentle leather cleanser after each use to prevent deep-set stains.
Squeaking sound when walking
This may occur if moisture is trapped inside or the insole has shifted; remove the insole, let the shoe air dry completely, and replace the insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your PUMA Carina 3.0 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines. Since these are leather shoes, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and adhesives. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking. To maintain the crisp white appearance, consider using a specialized leather cleaner or a white shoe polish designed for sneakers.
