FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The PUMA Carina Street generally follows standard adult sizing. It is recommended to stick to your usual UK size.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are classified as lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and walking, not for athletic performance or running.
How do I clean the white accents on the black model?
Use a damp microfiber cloth with a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the affected areas and dry immediately.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are generally fixed for structural support, but can accommodate thin aftermarket orthotic inserts if necessary.
Does the platform make them heavy?
While the platform adds a slight amount of weight compared to minimal sneakers, they are engineered to remain comfortable for all-day wear.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather near the toe box
This is natural for leather shoes. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shape and reduce persistent creases.
Scuff marks on the rubber midsole
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a mild soap solution with a soft brush to gently buff away surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These sneakers arrive ready to wear with standard lace-up closures. To ensure longevity, keep the leather clean by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth after exposure to dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial chemicals, as this can degrade the leather finish. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape.
