Had to return these shoes.Very clean lines, but not for wide footed folks.
I work at an auto parts store, we are required to wear black polishable shoes. every other shoe no matter the price has fallen apart quickly. Dress shoes are not made to be durable or comfortable, especially when you are on your feet, in all sorts of weather conditions , ice,snow.... so when I found these, I was willing to try them because from previous experience puma shoes have been super durable. I have worn the shoes for 2 and a half months at work, and they still look new (even after I spilled brake fluid all over them), and feel just as good as day one. on any other shoes, by the first week they would be all scuffed up ( not these).I look forward to getting a lot more use out of them. And I am curious to see how much better they work in ice, snow, slush compared to dress shoes ive had since they have a really good grip. I will most likely be buying these again when someday they do wear out. Update, 9 months later and these shoes are still going strong, the soles are getting a little wore out and my feet hurt if I do alot of walking, but for the most part still do the job.The rubber on the sides are detaching a little and the bottoms are loosing tread. They do not take water and snow well at all it soaks it right up. (nothing some water proof spray cant fix)Update 2 Well they made it 10 months, and I honestly think if I had not of accidentally put a hole in the side of them from a sharp object that almost cut my foot open at work ( not anything the materials could have prevented, phenomenal synthetic upper) I could have easily gotten another month or 2 out of them buy just putting $1 soles in them. I am still really impressed since most the shoes I wear after work fall apart much quicker and I don't even wear them as much. I estimate that I got about 1800 hours out of these shoes! Now onto pair number two.
Clean lines clean looking shoe I love how comfortable they are on the arch of my foot and seem well put together my issue is my wide feet so they are a little tight in that fact so if you have wide feet search to see if the have a pair of wides in your size...
This brand and style of sneaker I've been purchasing for a number of years. Black goes with mostly everything. I have purchased every pair online. Don't recommend it. If you can purchase inside of a store I recommend that. In store is best for the correct size, fit and feel. I ordered the same sneaker 4 times for different reasons before I was satisfied. I worn the sneaker for five years and it's starting to show the wear and tear. I know a persons walk and tread pattern is different from person to person. Final comment it's a durable sneaker to own.
good
I'm reliably a size 9 in pretty much every shoe. Some may be a bit loose or snug but I've never run into something as off as these things. I have shoes that are 8.5 which are snug but still comfortable. These things are on a whole other level. They seem about a full size smaller than indicated. The toe box is super pinched, tapers sharply which cramps your outside toes, and they seem too short as well. Looking at the size chart on the tongue it looks like they consider this a UK 8, US 9, and EU 42... which doesn't line up with any size chart I've seen elsewhere. Most have an EU 42 the equivalent of a US 8.5, which explains a lot. Even a half size up these would be a bit narrow but in a supportive rather than crushing way.If you have super narrow and not very tall feet, this is your shoe. There's nothing wrong with the construction and they look great. Unfortunately my feet can't conform to this shape.
