Please, save your money.The shoes bend for some weird reason on the sides when you put them on (I'm guessing because the leather isn't strong enough to keep the shape), and there are weird bends and crinkles in the leather that you can't see in the picture. Also, the off-white is more like beige, not like the picture at all. There is some good cushioning at the arch, but it still isn't very comfortable.

A high quality, very attractive shoe; versatile, looks good dressed up or down.

This shoe comes up when you look for \'purple\' and appears to be somewhat purple in the photo, but it is not at all purple.

Very cute, but runs very small. Have to go up at least one size from normal to fit. Too bad!

Good shoe - This shoe is serving my 15 yr old son well. He likes them a lot and would have another pair if he could. I have to wait till he wears these out though. It could use more arch support though.

Poison Green White - Great service, shipping, and price. Shoe is your standard basic sneak. Classic, look and feel. Love 'em.

White/poison green. Love the shoes and Zappos came through in record time. I already have a couple of other pairs of Baskets so I knew they would fit. Classic, great looking sneak.

Puma's new Basket Brights are very cool, very colorful shoes - I was searching for some new sneakers and came upon the Puma Basket Brights. The green and white model was very cool, I thought - it captivated my attention for more than a few seconds. At that moment I knew that I had to have them in my collection. (I own a dozen or so sneakers, some Puma, some Tigers, Adidas.) No sooner did I purchase them, the next day my local UPS driver rang my bell with the box of Basket Brights. I couldn't believe just how fast they arrived - I was truly blown-away! THANKS ZAPPOS!! I couldn't wait to try them on. Well...once on my feet they felt fantastic. I walked around the block and my feet felt great. It was a perfect fit. The shoe really hugs your feet so very nice. And the colors? Very cool. Very hip. I love cool color combinations, and these did the trick. Check out the white with Green...very cool.

Okay, so aesthetically, these shoes are wonderful, poison green and white, but their one flaw is definitely the width. Yeah, blame me for not going to the shoe store to get sized. But, the Basket Brights are only available, on Zappos anyway, in one width, standard D. Take it from me, if you have a large foot this will definitely give you problems. It's extremely constricting if you don't size yourself accordingly, trust me that 'D' size is not as roomy as a regular size 'D' bra size. Watch out! Outside of that, they're pimply for sure, and the width comfort thing can be sorted out mildly with some fancy shoelace adjustments, but its definitely not a snug fit. Either you're dealing with way too tight and constricting with the width, or they're way too loose laced to compensate for the tightness. Either way. Fresh shoes no lie, but they fail a bit in the comfort area.
