FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The Puma Carina 3.0 trainers are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and comfort. While they offer good support, they are not intended for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
The product is listed in UK sizing. We recommend checking your usual UK shoe size. If you are unsure, measure your foot length and compare it to a brand-specific size chart. Please note the packaging might show US/Euro sizes which differ from UK sizes.
What is SoftFoam+?
SoftFoam+ is Puma's comfort insole technology. It provides instant step-in comfort and long-lasting cushioning, offering a soft and plush feel throughout the day.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Please refer to the care instructions for cleaning the synthetic upper and rubber sole.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced if they get worn out or if you wish to customize the look with a different color.
Do these trainers provide good arch support?
The SoftFoam+ insole offers a good level of cushioning and basic support for casual wear. For individuals requiring significant arch support, custom orthotics may be considered.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper of the Puma Carina 3.0 trainers is made from a durable synthetic material.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose
First, ensure you have the correct UK size. Adjust the lacing: looser lacing for more room, tighter for a snugger fit. Consider wearing socks of different thicknesses.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes happen with new shoes or insoles. Try removing the SoftFoam+ insole, sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, ensure laces are tied securely.
Stains on the synthetic upper
Address stains promptly. Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and gently rub the affected area. For stubborn marks, a shoe cleaner specifically designed for synthetic materials may be used, following product instructions. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
Foot discomfort after long wear
While SoftFoam+ provides comfort, prolonged wear on hard surfaces can still cause fatigue. Ensure your laces aren't too tight, restricting circulation. Consider taking short breaks or varying your footwear if you anticipate exceptionally long periods of standing or walking.

Care
To keep your Puma Carina 3.0 Trainers in excellent condition:
- Cleaning: For the synthetic upper, wipe regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher dirt, a soft brush can be used gently.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a brush to remove dirt and maintain grip.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
