I ordered 2 pair of Puma sneakers. They are very nice, soft and comfortable but only for my husband. I have a wider foot and for me they were too tight. I had this brand and design before in the same size 7 and they fit, but not this pair. Maybe they changed the width, but they are not offered in wide. My husband likes them very much.

Cool shoes, a bit tight -
They look great, but not as comfy as the similar Adidas - these were too tight.

Love the look of this shoe...but -
It seems really narrow, and also ran a little small. Overall, I still wear them, and am satisfied.

Nice! My first pair of Pumas. Think they were a bit snug relative to my usual purchase of a thirteen, but still fit well. Two weeks I think to break them in, which is I guess about normal. After break in, pretty comfortable. I work 12 hour shifts as an RN on carpet over concrete and walk about 4 miles + during that time so I am really putting this more vintage style to a pretty strenuous test. They are working for me well and TONS of compliments!!! "Your shoes are so cool!" they tell me. I would buy Pumas again. Excellent sense of style, good enough comfort, well made.

A bit narrow -
The shoes have a nice soft sole that is comfortable for walking and are surprisingly breathable for leather shoes. However, they are definitely much narrower than shoes from other brands. I also had to go a half-size up from all other brands to fit the length properly.

Great shoe, takes a little breaking in -
This is my second pair of these, great look, great fit but they take a little while to break in especially if you have a wider foot.

Great shoe... a little narrow though -
I love this shoe, but it is narrower than I expected. It was supposed to be a medium width shoe which is what I usually buy, but it is pretty tight in the toe area.

Retro Puma -
Nice shoe, reminds of the 70's. Not the most comfortable shoe, but really cool.

It`s a PUMA -
Like every Puma I bought, this one has the same quality, same comfort you would expect from Puma...fits perfect and you walk like there`s nothing on your feet...great shoes...What else can I say...

gv special -
Very comfortable shoe, looks good with jeans and shorts. I wear them with white uniform pants. The only problem is with sizing. They are a half size to a whole size small.

This shoe never loosened up and always felt tight, so much so that I gave up wearing it. My son just took it home with him, seemed to fit him better. My own fault for the fit, it was tight and I should have sent it back but every pair of sneakers I've ever had got a little looser over time. My desire for the style overcame my good sense. It's a decent shoe otherwise.

I was looking for a full leather upper, mostly white shoe to wear with jeans or shorts. Love the style of this shoe, but still waiting for them to feel comfortable/loosen up. For my foot they are just a bit tight across the ball of the foot and the shoe is very stiff out of the box. Any size bigger would be too long and they don't come in a wider size so it was this one or nothing. So I'm waiting/hoping that wearing them for a couple hours at a time will loosen them up and make them comfortable. If/when that happens I'll update the comfort and overall rating. I have had great success with Asics fitting my feet, but they don't make much in full leather uppers.

Looks good but not that great -
These look good but are very tight. Took a few days to get comfortable but ok now. Buy half size up and give them a few days.

I own about 8 pairs of Pumas right now all size 13 and none of them are this narrow. I thought that I might break them in but they're so tight it's terrible.

My right shoe seems to have buckled the point where it really is out of shape. Left shoe is perfect. I really do not know what to do about this since it has taken roughly 2 weeks to have developed this problem. I still own a pair of Pumas and they are still quite in good shape after 4 years.

The Puma "GV Special" is a comfortable 'tennis' athletic shoe, that excels at "old School" style. The size and width are true to fit. Zappos "VIP" membership is the best in the business!

Very comfortable and not too heavy for leather. Like all puma products I have to go up a full size from 7.5 to 8.5 but no problem if you are aware.

Like the shoe - I bought them for work in a restaurant and comfortable to walk around in all night. Glad I took the advice of others to go up a 1/2 size - otherwise they would have been too snug.

The customer service was fantastic! My first order did not fit, they shipped an extra pair of my choice so that I could decide which pair I wanted. They gave me almost 2 weeks to send back the pair I did not want, so I did not feel rushed. Also the shipping was fast! Overall, it was a positive and comfortable experience. I intend to order more shoes in the future!

Total disappointment for me, after 2 years the shoes are still stiff as a board. I should have sent them back at the start, my bad. Worst feel I've ever had in shoes. I bought them for style.

My soon to be husband is a powerhouse of a man that wears many many hats in the Caribbean and swears by these sneakers day in and day out for his day to day to even long nights of being on his feet working. I have to buy at least 2 pairs for him because they always sell out in his size and he will NOT wear anything else. And Zappos’ next day shipping is AMAZING!

My boyfriend is in a correctional facility and these were perfect being that they are very picky when it comes to what they can wear.
