I ordered a 12. The ones I got felt a little too narrow and a little bit too short. I'll be trying the 13 since they don't have a 12.5, hopefully it isn't too big. Otherwise the shoes seemed very comfortable and well made.

Wanted a comfy all white sneaker that I could wear with shorts or jeans and this is the one. I liked it so much I got a second pair.

In short, great shoe. Looks good. Nice classic look. Goes with anything. Had a little trouble getting the size right, but Zappos was very helpful.

These are very comfortable shoes. I took others advice and got half a size larger. They feel snug, but not tight. Puma makes a great shoe!

First time buying Puma shoes, so I was a bit nervous if I had made the right choice. I absolutely love them! They feel a bit tight, but nothing unbearable. And yes, be sure to order 1/2 size bigger than what you wear.

Superb customer service, great shipping department. I had my sneakers the next morning. My size was not in any stores. My daughter told me about Zappos. I am totally sold and will highly recommend them & use them again.

I've always been a big Puma fan and these shoes didn't let me down. Not wanting to wear dress shoes to the office - these feel just as good after a day at work as they did in the morning. Having a narrow heel has made it difficult to buy shoes that fit and these hold my foot in place. Normally I wear a 9, but with Puma I need a 9.5, so be careful what size you order.

My teenage son loves these shoes, says they are very comfortable. They do run small so make sure to order a half size bigger than you think you need.

It felt a little tight when you first put them on. Like the very first time right out of the box. But once on and you were them for a little bit they feel really good on the feet. Nice and snug 5 stars for sure on comfort but as the size gets bigger the shoe looks a little like clown shoes. I guess that's what happens when its a size 17.

Dancing Shoes - These shoes put a bounce in you step. They are beautifully made and very true to size.

Dance Shoes - This is the second pair of shoes that I have bought that I will use for dance lessons. They fit great...perfect fit for my normal size. I have also purchased two pairs of fancier dance shoes and they are great too. I love dealing with Zappos.com because they ship free and let you return free. (I have done that with my husband's shoe the first time). I always recommend them to others who are looking for dance shoes.

Great - These are great dance shoes. They were my first dance shoes, and they have done very well for me. I have been dancing 6 days a week, for 5 months, and I am only now replacing them due to wear. I highly recommend. My feet tend to be wider than medium, but not a wide. I ordered these in a wide and they felt great. Medium felt way too narrow.

Like walking on air - I love my shoes they are like walking on air. From the time I put them on. Excellent all over I danced all night. Thank you Zappos. This is not an outside shoe. It is for dancing only.

Uncomfortable - I ended up sending these shoes back... the cutout part felt like it was going to cut my big toe off, and there was no arch support.

Great Shoes! I ordered this pair of shoes in silver and plan to wear them on my wedding day. They are so comfortable - it's like a pair of running shoes with a heel. Thank you!

Nice, but didn't like strap. I bought these for dance lessons and found them to be fairly comfortable for this type of shoe. I needed a half size larger. I decided to return them due to the instep strap pinching my inner ankle. It wasn't that bad and might have gone away after reasonable break-in time. However, I decided to go with the Freed 6617 L, which I felt was more comfy. Zappos has easy returns so I wasn't hesitant to try them though.

Great looking shoe - I bought these shoes for street wear. They have a soft, thin sole so I'll probably have to put something on the sole to make them more durable since they are a true dance shoe.

Great dancing shoe! This is a great shoe for dancing. It fits very snug, and gives good support. It's actually more comfortable then a lot of my flat shoes. My only minor complaint is it took about 3 times to wear it to break in the area around my toes. At first it pinched a little, but now feels fine. If you're in between sizes I'd definitely order the larger size. P.S. Zappos is great!

Amazing dancing shoes!!! I’ve got these shoes in Silver and I feel like a princess at the ball! Leather is very soft; sock lining is all suede... very nice! I was able to dance in these shoes the next day after I got them without breaking them in. The only one thing I had to do is cut the straps (they are way too long.) My dance teacher was very pleased with my choice... he said it’s the style he'd recommend. Great look and comfort.
