Surpassed my expectation by leaps and bounds!, December 1, 2011
This review is from: PUMA Men's Pumagility Cross-Training Shoe (Apparel)
These are my first Puma trainers and I am very impress. I am recovering from a sever bout of plantar fasciitis and the support these provide are wonderful. Excellent cushion with a feather weight construction! Normally I run four miles a day on a treadmill averaging a 7 1/2 minute mile pace. The pounding can be significant. These running shoes make the session effortless! To mitigate the daily wear I inflict on a single pair of running shoes I rotate between three different pairs. The New Balance 890 and Adidas EQT Zeros are in the same class with slightly different characteristics. The Pumagility and the New Balance 890 are the closest in terms of heal support and stability, although the EQT Zero are also very similar. The cushion or "pound deading" capability winner goes to the Adidas EQT Zero. The sole is also the highest compare to the 890 and the Pumagility. I have done some weight training with the 890; but not the EQT or Pumagility. Typically the taller sole shoes present lunges and squatting challenges. My trainer perception of my form in the higher sole shoes is less than positive. In any case, the Pumagility are a great running shoe. I will review the training aspects or characteristics later.

Bounce around town in style, January 31, 2012
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This review is coming from someone who just enjoys wearing sneakers, not anyone who's an expert on running shoes, exercise gear, etc. So keep that in mind. Anyway, these Puma Men's "Pumagility" (love that word) cross-training shoes encompass the best of both worlds. On the one hand, they're extremely light and comfortable (nothing heavy or clompy at all about them); on the other hand, they provide lots of traction and support during quick walks, fast pivots, etc. In other words, they're down there doing their job without you constantly knowing they're down there doing their job.
Also, they're attractively stylish. There have been lots of times when I've gone out with clean new sneakers, but this was the first time I received multiple comments from strangers (on the street, in the supermarket, etc.) about how cool and sharp looking my shoes were! Everyone loved the design and the striking black and red thing the shoes have going (well, the shoes sent to me were black and red).
Finally, they seem to be very durable. I've had these sneakers a few weeks now, wear them all the time, and they still look good and aren't showing any signs of wear and tear.
Negatives? None, really. Due to their lightness, they're maybe not the warmest footwear when it's very cold outside, but that's a quibble. If I wear them in all but the coldest weather, things are fine.
So, yeah, great product. Don't hesitate to buy these sneakers if they're at all catching your interest.

Awesome Fit, Super Cool Cross Trainer, February 8, 2012
This review is from: PUMA Men's Pumagility Cross-Training Shoe (Apparel)
I was trying on all the best looking and expensive Nikes when I saw this shoe. Pumagility in Black and Red. One word awesome. They have a wide ergonomic Birenstock type fit for me. Much more comfortable and Very stable and a good fit compared to the Swoosh. No brainer since these cost less on sale and got an awesome deal. I think that durability may be an issue but overall these shoes are great feeling and looking. Try them on.
