Customer Reviews PUMA GV Special

I have posted here before about a year ago. I''m getting ready to purchase another pair soon since these are the only shoes I wear besides the shoes I feed my goats in. These are the most comfortable, sturdy, best fitting shoes I've ever owned. My next pair will be my third. I hope and pray Puma doesn't stop making them.

I had to return these. The width was unusually narrow, and though this was an inexpensive shoe, the construction was a bit flimsier than I even though. Not much cushioning and no cushioning in the tongue. They are nice looking but since I was using these for tennis, I need something with more support. I guess I'll have to spend twice as much.

Super cute. Stiff at first, but I feel like it's just because you can't find leather tennis shoes anymore and I am not used to them. They feel great after a few wears. Love them.

Had to return, very narrow, I wear a women's medium but had to order a mens 11 medium because they don't make a women's 12 med. It was so narrow I couldn't get my foot into it. Great looking shoe.

These sneaks run about a 1/2 size large. I am an 8 but had to change for a 7.5 and after they broke in they are perfect. My biggest fuss I suppose is, the tongues are both sewn in off center and they slide of the crown of my foot throughout the day...besides that I really like the stability, and support. First pair of sneaks I have had without extra arch support! I am impressed!

I have a pinched nerve in the ball of my left foot; this shoe supports between the arch and the ball and really stabilizes my foot for minimum discomfort (I have 4 pairs in different colors!) while I have other shoes to kick around in, these are my go to work shoes.

I'm on my feet for 8 hours per day for work. The actual padding of the feet is nice. The length of the shoe is spot on to my size, which is 9 1/2. The toe area, though, is too narrow. The knuckles of my feet are being squeezed together with each step and my pinky toe is being squeezed inward as well. I'm going to try a few stretching methods to help out. The laces also constantly come untied, which is a real pain to deal with while working. I really want to like this shoe. The pair looks good and, if the toe area were wider, I'd be in love with them. Hopefully, I can stretch them out a bit and make them work.

I am definitely in the "runs narrow" club. I was all Puma kind of girl in my heavy tennis playing days, but in recent years had not been able to find them locally, so I was thrilled to see these. They look great (even my 22 year old daughter thought so), but I walked all over Athens in them, and they still are not much broken in after nearly two months. They also seem hot -- to the point that I logged on today to make sure they were leather uppers. I have never found leather shoes to be hot before, but have had trouble with synthetic materials. I have no doubt they will be long wearing, but unless and until they break in, I fear they will never be truly comfortable. I'm a standard 9.5 medium in women's sizes, and I notice that's the size they use to gauge whether they run narrow, so it's not variation across sizes that accounts for it.

Love the shoe but it runs big. Normally I am a perfect 36 and this fits in the width but is a size too big in the length.

I really do like these shoes. The first day they felt weird but suddenly the second day they were the most comfortable ever. I use them at work and then at tennis. They well ventilated. I use a 13.5 in Nike and 48 in SIDI. For Puma you should order 14 if you use a 13.5 Nike.

Made for a narrow fit this is a classic sneaker that never seems to go out of style or season. If you're familiar with the Puma brand, you know your size!

These are great looking shoes, but I wish the materials they used were a little higher quality. I guess they use a faux leather, which is fine, but they feel too much like plastic in some areas. They are also a little lower cut than what I am used to wearing so it feels like they are not on my feet all the way. But I am getting used to the fit and they feel like they are breaking in nicely. They have a great, rubbery sole that is very comfortable and seems durable. I bet that they will hold up well over time. I typically wear a 9½ so I ordered a 9½ but I sent those back because they felt too long. I ended up with a size 9 which fit me much better and I still have about a thumbs width of room at the end. I would say that they are a little narrow compared to Nike or New Balance. As always, great Zappos service!

Best tennis sneaker ever, very comfortable fit and very effective tread design makes for very good traction on all court surfaces.

I enjoy zappos.com because they have what I can't find in a store. The puma gv specials are only in a couple stores here in town, so when I want a new pair I go online to zappos.com, order them, and they are at my house in just a few days. I have had no problems with the service and recommend zappos.com to everyone. Also, I have started to shop around for other items on the website. Thank you Zappos.com, and good job with helping other businesses downtown, Marc Longwith is my Uncle and he is part of Banger Brewing and I appreciate you helping him. Hoo Ya!

I bought these shoes within the last few months for the second time. They are really the best pair of sneakers, tennis shoes, etc., I have ever had. The sole is so sturdy which I believe isn't the case with many shoes made today. At the same time they are comfortable and make my body feel balanced, and almost feels like they were made from a mold of my foot. I think since the first time, they have made a couple of improvements. I am a woman and our feet spread a bit more where the toes join the foot. They either give more in this area than before, or Puma has widened them a bit. The first ones I had bought did seem too narrow and stiff especially in that area running horizontally across the toe joints, so they had been sitting in my closet. I pulled them out again and simply readjusted the laces so they spread more particularly in the area closest to the toes, and they are fine. My first pair are my dirtier knock around ones, and the new ones this year, I go everywhere in . . . Shopping, doctor's appointments, visiting. Nothing hurts when I wear these, and I'm 57 now and have arthritis issues in some areas. These are an extremely superior shoe, and if these are still a bit narrow for you, just readjust the laces to spread them more, but I do think these are improved over the model from 6 years ago or so. You can put them side by side and see that this year's model are wider in that area of the toes joints. I'm ordering my husband a pair right now and am excited that he will have the best shoes he's ever had. And if the first ones I get aren't exactly the right size, I will reorder another. I know if the size is right, these shoes are wonderful.

Take about two weeks to break in but after that this are very comfortable and nice looking. They look and feel durable also (I've had then for a month) so I will order another pair. My feet are not narrow but not so wide either, but if you do have very wide feet, I wouldn't recommend them. They run true to size.

This is a stylish shoe. However, my foot feels like it is outside the arch support. The arch support was good. But the shoes is too tight for my liking so I'm sending it back. You can't beat Zappos' customer service. The other shoes I ordered were too big, so I asked for a return label. He asked if I wanted to exchange them, I told him that I ordered another pair. That was late Tuesday afternoon. He stated that I will receive my shoes on Friday. They were here the next day. I'm a Zappos customer for life.

Good looking shoe, very comfortable, had many good comments. Also, best customer service in the entire country. Spencer.

Great shoes! I work for an airline outside on the tarmac loading bags and the blacktop eats through the soles of shoes very quickly. This pair is not only comfortable but very reliable, it's lasted longer on my job than any other shoe I've used.

These particular puma shoes offer comfort and style, I'm very pleased with this purchase, they fit right to the t, light weight and look great and with the classic vintage style, you can't go wrong, I would recommend this shoe, whether for your everyday activities or just chilling out they're both a great combination, and with the Zappos VIP treatment, makes it a more great shopping experience, I have nothing but high praise when it comes to shopping with Zappos!

My son who lives in a different state, needed white shoes for school. It was my first time ordering. Finding what I needed and ordering was seamless. My son received shipment in a timely manner and purchase was just as expected. Overall, we were very satisfied.

I have been looking for these shoes forever. So glad I found them here. The sizing was off just a bit for me. I had to go a half size bigger than what I normally wear.
