The Puma Carina 3.0 Trainers are engineered for daily comfort and style, making them a practical choice for older children and youth. The standout SOFTFOAM+ insole provides plush cushioning, ensuring feet remain comfortable during extended periods of wear, whether for school, casual outings, or light activities. Their classic tennis-inspired aesthetic allows them to pair effortlessly with a wide range of casual clothing, from jeans and shorts to skirts and dresses, establishing them as a highly versatile wardrobe staple. The robust rubber outsole offers reliable traction on various urban surfaces, ensuring stability and safety during walking and everyday movement. While designed for comfort and style, their flat heel and general construction mean they are best suited for casual use rather than intense athletic sports like running or demanding court games.
Getting started with your Puma Carina 3.0 Trainers is straightforward:
Loosen the lace closure sufficiently to comfortably slide your foot into the shoe.
Adjust the laces, pulling them evenly from the toe towards the ankle, until you achieve a snug yet comfortable fit.
Tie a secure knot, or double-knot for added security, ensuring the laces will not come undone during activity.
These trainers are specifically recommended for PUMA Youth, targeting older children between 8 and 16 years of age. Their classic white, tennis-inspired design makes them highly compatible with a wide array of casual clothing styles. They are ideal for daily wear, school, social gatherings, and other casual activities where comfort and style are desired.
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the life of your Carina 3.0 Trainers:
Uppers (Leather & Synthetic): Gently wipe away dirt and grime with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent stains, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically formulated for leather and synthetic materials. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the material.
Textile Lining/Insole: To prevent odors, allow the shoes to air out regularly. If necessary, the textile lining can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth and a very mild soap. Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water.
Rubber Midsole & Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and maintain traction. A small amount of mild soap can be used for stubborn marks.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as excessive heat can cause materials to warp, crack, or discolour.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
