FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
No, the Carina Street is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, not for high-impact activities like running.
How do I determine if the size is correct?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing. Ensure there is about a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and compromise the glue bonds in the platform sole.
What is the platform height?
The platform provides a subtle lift, offering a slightly elevated profile compared to traditional flat trainers.
Are they waterproof?
While leather provides some resistance to light moisture, they are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during first wear
Leather naturally stretches slightly. Wear them with thin socks initially to allow the material to break in comfortably.
Surface dirt accumulating on the leather
Wipe with a slightly damp cloth immediately after use to prevent dirt from setting into the leather grain.
Sole losing grip over time
Ensure the rubber outsole is free of debris or lodged gravel, which can reduce surface contact and traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your PUMA Carina Street sneakers stay in top condition:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes may feel slightly stiff initially; wear them for shorter periods during the first week to allow the material to mold to your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid soaking the leather. For scuffs on the black leather, use a matching black shoe polish or cream.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or color fading.
- Compatibility: These are designed for adult female foot shapes and fit true to size as a standard UK 8.
