This is a stylish looking shoe to be sure with soft suede well stitched into the last but its strength lies elsewhere. It is a thin, light and flexible shoe with very little cushioning and virtually no support...and this is a good thing because it allows your feet to be feet. Perhaps not as much as a minimalist shoe like Vibram Five Finger but you can feel the ground and spread your toes pretty well in these shoes. The heel and forefoot are almost at the same level so you aren't tipped forward just by standing there. It offers enough protection that you are safe and stylish but doesn't require much more.

Unfortunately, I found these sneakers to ride up too high around the ankle which lead to chafing and blisters. I stopped wearing them about 4 days after starting and now they just sit in my closet. Also, the sole of these shoes, while seemingly very sturdy, have virtually no traction on wet surfaces. Walking down the sidewalk, I would slip and almost fall if I made the mistake of walking across one of those in-sidewalk metal elevator hatch things (or really, anything metal or slick like marble). I was disappointed because I really like Pumas.

This is a great shoe. Just make sure to order a half size larger than normal.

These Puma's are definitely good looking, well made shoes. I tried the Nike Tiempo Mystics initially, but they not only ran way small, they also looked cheap and felt poorly made. The Puma Ligas have a higher quality feel and classic look, but I don't think I'd buy them again. The problem for me is the way the footbed was designed. It's not a good fit for my foot. The material bunches up at the first lace holes even though the shoe fits fine everywhere else. I've had to try several different insole combinations to get a snug fit throughout so that I can actually use these shoes for indoor sports. Had I tried them on at a local shoe store I would've passed unless I was only buying them for casual use.

I am glad that I tried these out. They look great with jeans and have a more mature/refined look than other sneakers. There is not a lot of support. If you are a lightweight then this is probably not an issue. I am about 190 pounds and adding a ¾ length insole made these really comfortable. I usually wear an 11, ordered an 11½ and they fit perfectly.

These Puma runs insanely small. The size chart told me to get a 9.5. Three pairs later, I'm up to an 11, with the 10 and 10.5 being too small.

These are very cute shoes. They are quite slim around the foot, but still offer reasonable support. A little narrower than I expected but (as with all leather shoes), once fully broken in, they are super comfortable.

The vaporous grey is gorgeous, but these Ligas run at least one full size small. I wear a women's 8.5-9 and in these I had to get a men's 8.5 (as compared with my men's Adidas Sambas which are 7.5). Could've picked the 8, but there's very little cushion or support so I'm hoping to put an insole in.
Brands I'd also recommend: Adidas Samba

Beautiful shoes, especially in the black/blue combination. I bought these shoes to replace a pair of puma suede. However, I had to return them, the sizes run small and this particular model is a very narrow fit, so if you have wider feet like I do you are probably better off getting a different model like the puma suede/Adidas campus.

Got these for my hubby. He wears a solid 9.5 to a 10. Even with the 10 size, they were way too small, and too narrow. This is a handsome, simple shoe with a lot of style, and I wish they had fit him because I hate his other tennis shoes. I will continue shopping for a different style as these are probably just too narrow of a style overall.

I love how these shoes look on the website, but I'm about to return the second pair from Zappos because they run so small that I'm afraid to try for another half size up. I guess if I want to buy a pair of Pumas I'm going to have to do it in person. And why is it that the toe area on most styles of Pumas shoes are so narrow and tight? I've owned Speedcats, California Pumas and one other style and they are all like that. Ugh. I might have to give up on Pumas altogether.

I have been wanting a pair of old school Puma's for a while. I went to a bunch of stores and nobody had them. I finally found them on this site and I am very happy with them. Some reviews said they run a full size larger, but I didn't find that. I ordered my usual size and they fit perfect, they look cute and the shipping was super fast. I would recommend the shoes and this site!!

Great shoes, they look great and I get people asking me about them all the time. They go with pretty much any color you are wearing and they work great with shorts. They are a little more narrow of a shoe, so if you like wide shoes you will probably be better off with something different. They work awesome for me though! Love them, and I love Zappos!

This, quite simply, is the best shoe I have ever owned. I love them so much, I have the black with blue and the brown with yellow. I plan on getting the gray with red when they are in stock in my size. I too have had a life changing experience in these shoes (the brown ones)! I just keep on walking down my path, one foot in front of the other. And I know I'll be okay in my trusty Puma Liga's.
Brands I'd also recommend: just stick with the Puma Liga in all its colors!

I am pleased with these Pumas, as usual. They are stylish but not tacky, and I adore the contrasting colors. They look great with jeans or shorts, and are comfortable for walking or general activity. I wouldn't wear them to go jogging, by any means, but that is also not what they are intended for. The soles are not terribly cushioned, so if you have really bad feet then a gel insert might be what you need. Decent arch support thanks to a slightly raised arch in the sole, but aside from that there is not much to pad the soles of these.

Zappos has the best deals on the web, bar none! The Customer Service and their Company Policies are the most "user-friendly" available. I highly recommend Zappos as I feel they are the best in the business.

Very comfy. I would recommend purchasing a better insole if you are planning to live in them. The original is pretty thin and cheap.

Bought these for my husband, who had a pair just like them that he bought 12 years ago. They are just like they've always been and he loves them! Fit well, and we know they last forever!

These shoes are just what I wanted, but even though I ordered the same size as a very similar Puma last month, these are much shorter and will have to be returned. I am a true 5, but order 1/2 to 1 size bigger in sneakers. The first pair of Pumas were a 5 1/2 and fit perfectly. Slightly different style, slightly different fit. I'll try a 1/2 size larger.

Great Puma style. I wear these at least once a week. A great replacement for my Puma Anjans that I wore to pieces. From a fit perspective, I am always an 11.5 in Pumas although I am otherwise between an 11-11.5 for other brands. So they might be a little tight if you are a full 11.5.

These shoes look great, but be warned that they run a bit small. I used to think of myself as a 10 1/2, but lately the sneakers I've been getting have fit me well at size 12. I got the size 12 of these, and while they're not literally too small, I'm still breaking them in. Consider getting a half size larger than you're used to.

Okay. Stripe appears to be white in photo, is actually baby blue. Laces do not stay tied. Wanted the gum colored sole, but it's never in stock. The white gets dirty fast.

I bought these shoes couple weeks ago. It looks good but it is narrow and it hurts my feet. I don't recommend it to anyone.

I am a Puma lover, but these particular shoes are very odd. First of all, they are actually lopsided -- one side of the shoe is smaller than the other. Also, where all my other pairs of Pumas were true to size, these were a FULL SIZE (not a half size) too small. I am sending them back. But that doesn't mean that Zappos isn't the best retailer EVER!

Must be mislabeled, women's size or manufacturer error as they were a solid 2 sizes smaller than marked. Do not trust sizing.
