FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
No, the Puma Carina 2.0 sneakers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for high-impact sports like running or intensive training. For athletic activities, we recommend footwear specifically designed for those purposes.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of the Puma Carina 2.0 features a durable and stylish leather construction, with a perforated vamp for added detail and breathability.
How do I determine my size?
This specific model is a UK size 6. We recommend referring to Puma's official size chart to ensure the best fit, as sizes can vary slightly between brands and styles. If possible, try them on to confirm comfort.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to protect the leather and the shoe's structure. Consider applying a leather protector spray for added water resistance.
Is the footbed removable?
Info needed: Whether the cushioned footbed is removable is not specified in the product description. Generally, built-in cushioned footbeds are not easily removable. If you require custom orthotics, check with a retailer or Puma customer service.
Troubleshooting
My sneakers feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you've selected the correct size (UK 6 for this model). Adjust the lace closure for a more comfortable fit. If they are consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different sock thickness or checking foot measurements against Puma's size guide.
The leather upper looks dull or dirty.
Clean the leather using a damp cloth and mild leather soap. Follow the care instructions outlined above to restore its appearance. Regular cleaning and conditioning can prevent dullness.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur if parts of the shoe rub together or if the insole shifts. Try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeaking persists, inspect for any loose components.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
While the rubber outsole provides good grip for general use, extreme conditions (e.g., wet ice, highly polished floors) can still be slippery. Exercise caution in such environments. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your sneakers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Wipe off surface dirt with a soft, dry brush or cloth.
- For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (e.g., saddle soap) specifically designed for leather.
- Gently rub the stained areas, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth.
- Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
- *Optional*: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple.
- Cleaning the Rubber Sole:
- Use a brush or an old toothbrush with mild soap and water to scrub away dirt and grime.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the leather and structural integrity of the shoe. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
