Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I have at least 20 pairs of sneakers that I use but none of them are as comfortable as this one. I walk on my treadmill and on occasion, I do aerobics.
First let me say, these are so cool looking. They have a mesh upper so they are really cool and lightweight. They have a nice sole so you don't slip and it really gives you great traction.
They do run true to size and I can even put on a light sock with these.
I have all brands but none of them are PUMA and now I actually think I am converted to a PUMA user. They fit really nice in the toes, not too tight. Your foot just slips in and the laces are well placed. i walked the first time for almost an hour and my feet were feeling good. My back was good too. These have some kind of support in them that keep you walking up straight, if that makes any sense.
I really love these sneakers. Not only do they look good but they are very functional and I actually can't wait until tomorrow so I can work out again.
If you're in the market for a great sneaker, and you just can't find one, give these a try. you really might be surprised.

Accurate sizing, fun colors, great support, December 29, 2011
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
HOW I USE THESE: I like to run, but I haven't tried them for that because I had knee surgery two months ago and am not yet cleared to run. I have worn these for long walks (by myself, with two dogs, and with two kids), physical therapy appointments (including lunges, squats, and heel raises), and cardio machines (elliptical and bike mostly). I have rheumatoid arthritis in addition to the recent knee surgery, so support and comfort are crucial to me, and these definitely met my needs. SIZING: I usually wear an 8 and ordered an 8. They fit perfectly, so they are true to size. COLOR: The picture on my screen was an exact representation of the real-life color. If you look at the picture, you can note that the purple Puma swoosh on the side is a little more of a classic purple color while the base of the shoe is slightly more plum. The lime green areas are BRIGHT, but I like it that way. Unlike the picture, though, the gray Puma embroidered at the toe isn't very obvious, nor is the texture on the gray fabric toward the toe. The texture near the heel is pronounced, though, and looks very nice. SUPPORT/COMFORT: I was worried these might not provide enough support, because the toe box is on the roomy side and because I couldn't feel much to any arch support, which I usually need. However, these are now my go-to sneakers for working out and wearing around town. COMPARISON TO OTHER BRANDS: I've used New Balance, Saucony, and Nike in the past, and these are my favorite. I haven't worn Pumas since middle school, so I can't compare them to other Pumas.

Surprisingly Comfortable for Wide Feet., January 1, 2012
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
At a size 10, double E wide, higher than normal arch, it is very difficult for me to find shoes, including athletic, that are comfortable to wear. I chose a size 11 as an attempt to compensate for the medium width that I tested. I often do this when purchasing shoes. When I first put them on, I had a medium-thick pair of athletic socks on and it was a little snug getting them on. However, once they were on I was pleasantly surprised by the roominess. Generally, when I put on anything that is a medium width, my foot is squeezed until it's numb. In this case, this did not happen. However, someone who might have extra-narrow feet may feel like their feet are swimming in these shoes. The upper part of the shoe is made primarily of mesh and is very soft and giving. I'm a walker and I took a long, strenuous, and fast-paced walk, wearing these and noticed their light feel and comfort. The toes of my very wide feet did not feel strangled and I could easily wiggle them. Since I ordered a size up, I suspect I might have been able to wear my true size without noticeable discomfort. There was some toe room; these shoes are true to size and the graphic shown is an accurate representation of what the actual shoe looks like. I like them.
