FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual, everyday wear and fashion. While they offer comfort, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or running and may lack the specific support and cushioning required for such activities.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or manufacturer, typically found on the product page. Measure the length of your foot from heel to toe and compare it to the chart. Generally, UK 6.5 fits individuals with a foot length of approximately 25.5 cm.
Can the gold accents be cleaned?
Yes, the gold accents can be gently wiped with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this could damage the finish.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper of the Puma Carina Street Trainers is made from premium leather.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The Puma Carina Street series often comes in various colorways. While this specific model is black with gold accents, other similar models in the Carina line may be available in different colors like white, pink, or grey, as seen in the product siblings.
How high is the platform sole?
The exact height of the platform sole is not specified, but it is described as 'enhanced' and 'elevated', providing a noticeable lift compared to traditional trainers.
Is the black leather matte or shiny?
The description indicates a premium leather upper, which typically has a smooth, subtle sheen rather than a high-gloss finish. The exact finish can vary slightly.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather on arrival
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to naturally soften and conform to your foot. Using a leather conditioner can also help.
Discoloration on gold accents
Gently wipe the gold accents with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using cleaning solutions directly on the metallic finish to prevent damage.
Slight discomfort from platform
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. If discomfort persists, consider if the platform style is suitable for your typical activities.
Leather scuffs easily
Use a leather cleaner or a magic eraser very gently on light scuffs. Apply a leather protector spray to help prevent future scuffs and stains.
