4.0 out of 5 stars POSE recommended shoe **update - great for Zumba**, February 20, 2010

I purchased these shoes because they were recommended by the POSE method of running. POSE running utilizes bare-bones shoes w/ little to no support. Reason being, you need to feel your connection to the pavement so that you may pull your foot up immediately upon contact. Additionally in the POSE method you strike on the balls of your feet so the extra cushioning at the midsole is unnecessary. I would definitely recommend these shoes for this method. However, these are not recommend for anyone wanting a traditional running shoe.

I gave 4 stars because the shoes are extremely light and cute. I did not give the 5th star because the shoes run (no pun intended) a half size small. I am a guaranteed 9.5 but my toes ended up touching the front of the shoes. There is no way I can run in these when I take into account inevitable swelling from running. I definitely recommend buying a half size larger.

These shoes are narrow which work perfectly with my ski-shaped feet. But for the average shopper I would expect they would consider them too narrow.

UPDATE: 24 Jan 12

I wore my regular running shoes to Zumba for a few classes and found that I had difficulty with the twists and quick turns. I decided to wear these and they were perfect. These were light enough for the quick moves and transitions and smooth enough to prevent sudden stops on the dance floor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really Cute but they Run Small so order up!, February 17, 2010

These sneakers are really cute but they definitely run about a half size smaller - at least for me. The one problem is they don't have much support so if you are looking for support these are not the best sneakers. I would say these are great for walking around/hanging out but not for any serious walking/running (which is why they are called the Street sneaker, I assume). They don't pretend to be a serious athletic sneaker and that's fine - they are more of a casual city sneaker with style. They are attractive, just not extremely supportive if that's a concern.

4.0 out of 5 stars Minimalist Running? Transitional Shoe, March 21, 2011

I recently read Christopher McDougall's "Born to Run" and wanted very much to dive right into barefoot/minimalist running shortly thereafter. I bought Vibram Five Finger shoes and realized I was doing too much too soon (TMTS)... I got the dreaded TOFP (top of foot pain) that I'd read about on some barefoot running blogs... So what's a girl to do? Buy more shoes of course!

I ordered the Puma K-Street II shoes as a transitional shoe, and then will move toward the Merrell Pace Gloves and Vibrams again once my feet have strengthened to the point that it makes sense to move on. I ran a mile in these shoes the other day and it felt good. I usually wear a 6.5 in Puma's, and had to order these in a 7.5 (after reading other reviews that said they ran small). I wish they had a 7, because they seem a LITTLE bit larger than I'd like, but all in all, a solid shoe. Super lightweight, good ground-feel for a transitional shoe, and enough padding that I'm not going to quickly get stress fractures in my foot from doing TMTS!
