Product Information
Full details
These PUMA Caven 2.0 Block AC+ PS Trainers are designed for young boys seeking a stylish and comfortable shoe with a retro, 90s college-inspired aesthetic. The key benefit is the combination of a visually appealing design with the enhanced comfort provided by the SoftFoam+ sockliner. A potential caveat for some parents may be the velcro and elastic strap closure, which while easy for children, might not offer the same adjustability as traditional laces.

FAQs
What age group are these trainers suitable for?
These trainers are designed for kids, specifically for the 'PS' (Preschool) category, indicated by the velcro and elastic strap closure, making them ideal for younger children who can manage them independently.
How do I know if I'm choosing the right size?
Refer to the product's size chart or measure your child's foot from heel to toe and compare it to the UK sizing provided. Ensure there is a little room for growth, but not so much that the shoe is loose.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning of the trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What does 'SoftFoam+' mean?
SoftFoam+ refers to PUMA's comfortable insole designed to provide soft cushioning, particularly in the heel, enhancing overall comfort with every step.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for general wear and are not intended to protect feet from prolonged exposure to water. For wet conditions, water-resistant footwear would be more appropriate.
What is the benefit of the recycled materials used?
Using recycled materials in the upper and sole is part of PUMA's commitment to sustainability. It helps reduce environmental impact by repurposing waste materials into new products.
How durable are the rubber soles?
The rubber soles are designed for durability and good traction for everyday use and play. They are built to withstand regular wear and tear for children's activities.
Troubleshooting
Velcro strap not sticking properly
Ensure the velcro surfaces are clean and free of lint or dirt. Rub the velcro together firmly to re-engage the hooks and loops.
Slight odor after wear
Remove the insole if possible and allow the shoes to air out completely in a well-ventilated area. Use shoe deodorizer spray if necessary.
Material appears scuffed
Minor scuffs on the synthetic material can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, a mild cleaning solution might help, but significant damage may be permanent.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. If new, the shoes may need a short break-in period. Check for any internal seams or tags that might be causing irritation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal comfort and fit.
Compatibility: The PUMA Caven 2.0 trainers are designed for general everyday wear. They are compatible with casual children's clothing such as jeans, shorts, tracksuits, and casual dresses. They are not intended for specialized sports requiring specific footwear (e.g., basketball, formal football).
Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean the rubber midsole and outsole. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces/Straps: Ensure velcro straps are clean and free of debris to maintain their sticking power.
