FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The Puma Carina 3.0 Trainers are designed for casual wear and all-day comfort, inspired by classic tennis styles. While they offer good support for walking and light activities, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running or intense athletic training.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
It is highly recommended to try on the trainers. Always refer to the UK size, as the label or box might also display US/Euro sizes which can sometimes have varying conversions. Your comfort is the best indicator of correct fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. For cleaning, wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the SoftFoam+ insole?
The SoftFoam+ insole is a PUMA comfort technology designed to provide immediate step-in comfort and long-lasting cushioning, offering soft support for your feet throughout the day.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. The synthetic upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not designed to protect your feet in heavy rain or wet conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to water.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of the Puma Carina 3.0 Trainers is made from durable synthetic material, offering both longevity and ease of care.
Do these trainers provide arch support?
The SoftFoam+ insole provides overall cushioning and general support across the footbed. For individuals requiring specific or pronounced arch support, separate orthopedic inserts might be considered.
Troubleshooting
Sizing Confusion on Labels
Always try on the trainers before confirming the fit. Refer specifically to the UK size, as US/Euro conversions on the label or box might sometimes vary or be misleading.
Discomfort or Rubbing
Ensure your laces are properly adjusted for a secure yet comfortable fit. Check your socks for adequate cushioning. If discomfort persists, consider trying different insoles or verifying that the size is truly correct for your foot shape.
Stains or Dirt on Synthetic Upper
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for synthetic materials can be used, following its instructions carefully.
Slipping on Wet Surfaces
While the rubber sole provides general traction, exercise caution on extremely wet, icy, or smooth surfaces. The trainers are not designed with specialized anti-slip features for hazardous conditions.

Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Puma Carina 3.0 Trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap to remove dirt and scuffs. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources such as radiators, tumble dryers, or hairdry, as this can distort the materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation and color fading.
- Sizing Note: Always try on your footwear before extended use to confirm the fit. Please be aware that the shoe box or internal labels may display US or Euro sizing that could differ from the UK size you ordered; prioritize the UK size for accurate fitting.
