FAQs
Are PUMA Carina 2.0 true to size?
PUMA Carina 2.0 generally fits true to size. For the best fit, it's recommended to consult PUMA's official size guide and consider your usual UK shoe size for adults.
Can I use these sneakers for running or gym workouts?
The PUMA Carina 2.0 is designed primarily for casual, everyday wear and comfort. While suitable for light walking, they are not engineered with the specialized support or cushioning required for high-impact running or intensive gym workouts.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Avoid machine washing.
What is the sole made of?
Both the midsole and outsole of the PUMA Carina 2.0 are constructed from durable rubber, providing comfort, cushioning, and good traction.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The PUMA Carina 2.0 provides standard comfort cushioning suitable for casual wear. For specific arch support needs, you may consider adding an orthotic insole if desired.
Is the perforated vamp only for style or does it help with breathability?
The perforated vamp primarily adds a stylish detail, but it also offers a minor contribution to breathability for the leather upper, helping with air circulation during wear.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper restoration, use a quality leather cleaner followed by a leather conditioner to moisturize and restore its sheen.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The leather upper may require a break-in period. Wear your Carina 2.0s for shorter durations initially, gradually increasing wear time until the leather softens and conforms to your foot shape.
Squeaking sound while walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing.
White outsole/midsole looks dirty and discolored.
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soap and water mixture with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently scrub the rubber. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather sneakers.
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and light dirt.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first.
- Conditioning: Every few months, or as needed, apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the shoes are frequently exposed to dry conditions.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber midsole and outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your leather sneakers.
