FAQs

What is the SoftFoam+ insole?

SoftFoam+ is PUMA's comfort sockliner for instant step-in and long-lasting comfort that provides soft cushioning every step of your day.

Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?

While tennis-inspired, these Carina 3.0 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and all-day comfort. They are suitable for light activities and everyday use, but not recommended for intensive sports or high-performance athletic training.

How do I determine the correct size?

This particular model is a UK 5.5 and is recommended for older kids between 8 and 16 years. PUMA generally recommends checking their official size chart, often available on product pages, and measuring your child's foot to ensure the best fit.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the care instructions provided, which involve hand-cleaning with a damp cloth.

What type of upper material is used?

The PUMA Carina 3.0 trainers feature a synthetic upper. This material is durable, easy to clean, and contributes to the shoe's versatile design.

Are these trainers heavy?

The PUMA Carina 3.0 trainers are designed to be lightweight enough for comfortable all-day wear, providing good support without feeling cumbersome on a child's foot.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot, providing a snug yet comfortable fit. If discomfort persists, verify the size is correct for your foot, considering the recommended age group (8-16 years).

White synthetic upper shows dirt easily.

Regularly wipe down the trainers with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used. Prompt cleaning after exposure to dirt or mud will help prevent stains from setting.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the SoftFoam+ insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe (under where the insole sits), and then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, check for any loose stitching or material inside the shoe.

Trainer material appears dull or faded.

Ensure you are cleaning them gently and avoiding harsh chemicals. For synthetic materials, a protector spray designed for trainers can help maintain their appearance and offer some resistance to dirt and moisture.
