FAQs
Are the Puma Carina 3.0 trainers waterproof?
While the leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, they are not waterproof shoes and should not be submerged in water.
Can I remove the Softfoam+ insoles?
The insoles are designed for comfort, but generally, they are meant to stay in the shoe. If you require custom orthotics, they can usually be placed on top of or replacing the factory insole.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing for women. We recommend ordering your usual size, but keep in mind leather footwear may feel snug initially.
Are these suitable for running?
No, these are fashion trainers inspired by tennis aesthetics. They do not have the specialized support or motion control required for running.
What is the best way to clean the white soles?
A magic eraser or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with a soft toothbrush works well to lift stains from the rubber sole edges.
Troubleshooting
Leather appearing scuffed after use
Use a matching black leather polish or a leather conditioning wipe to buff out light scuffs and restore the material's shine.
Insole feeling flat after extended wear
Remove the insole if possible to air it out, or replace it with a new high-quality supportive insole if the cushioning has degraded over a long period.
Stiff fit at the heel
Use a leather softener spray or a shoe stretcher to gently expand the heel cup area, or wear thicker socks for a short time to help break in the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Puma Carina 3.0 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple maintenance steps:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away surface dirt from the leather upper.
- Drying: Always let shoes air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material fading.
- Fit: Ensure you verify your UK sizing as leather does not stretch significantly; if they feel tight, wear thin socks during the first few uses.
