FAQs
What materials are the Puma Carina Mia trainers made of?
The uppers are made of 51% leather and 49% other materials. The lining and cushioning are 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports or running, which require specialized athletic footwear.
How should I clean the white leather-look upper?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the upper. For stubborn marks, a cleaner specifically designed for synthetic leather materials can be used cautiously, following the cleaner's instructions.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The trainers feature textile cushioning, which provides a comfortable base. However, they are not designed with specific orthotic arch support features. If you require significant arch support, consider using custom or over-the-counter insoles.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and adhesives of the trainers.
What does the 'slightly elevated sole' mean?
It refers to a sole that is thicker or features a subtle platform design compared to a standard flat shoe, providing a bit of extra height and a contemporary look.
Are these trainers available in men's sizes?
The Puma Carina Mia trainers are listed as being designed for women and available in women's sizes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. Wear with appropriate socks. If the issue persists after several wears, consider if the size is correct for your foot.
Dirt or scuff marks on the upper.
Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks on leather-look parts, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for synthetic materials, following product instructions.
Sole feels slippery.
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from excessive dirt or polish. For persistent slipperiness on certain surfaces, consider a shoe repair specialist for grip enhancement if needed.
Laces fraying.
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. You can find replacement laces at most shoe stores or online retailers.
