The Puma Carina 3.0 Children's shoes are built for the demands of daily active life. The SOFTFOAM+ sockliner acts as a comfortable foundation, cushioning every step, jump, and run your child makes. This means less foot fatigue during long days at school, the park, or in active play. The thick heel adds to this comfort and provides stability.
Thanks to the synthetic upper and rubber midsole, these shoes are resilient against typical wear and tear. They can handle playground adventures, school hallways, and backyard fun without quickly deteriorating. The lace closure is key for performance, allowing you to tighten the shoes for a snug fit that prevents slipping and reduces the risk of trips, especially important during sports or active games.
A significant benefit for both parents and schools is the non-marking rubber outsole. This feature ensures that your child can move freely indoors, whether in a gym, classroom, or at home, without leaving scuff marks on floors. This makes them a versatile choice for both indoor and outdoor activities. The recycled materials used in their construction also mean that with every step, your child is wearing a product that considers environmental impact.
These shoes are ideal for:
Everyday school wear
Playground activities and casual play
Light sports and physical education classes
Weekend outings and family adventures
