Customer Reviews PUMA Whirlwind Classic

Thank you for your speedy shipping keep it on! Comfort wise very good. Nice cushioning I like them!

These are possibly the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn. They fit snuggly, look fantastic, and can be worn as casually or to run in. Overall a truly well designed shoe.

Good looking shoe, but the outsole catches on carpeted surfaces due to the knubs. A little tight in the fore foot. I returned them since I'm no longer into breaking in shoes.

These shoes are so frustratingly close to what I really want in a shoe. I love the style, and the general feel, but there are a few minor annoyances. The main thing that bothers me is that the heel area is a bit too wide. I can slide my heel back and forth what feels like about a quarter inch, and on uneven terrain this means your feet slide around in the shoes a bit too much, almost allowing the shoes to turn around your foot and come off. They are also a little too large for the size, so my foot slides slightly front and rear as well. I considered sending them back for a half size smaller, but worried that they would be too tight in the forefoot if I did, as they narrow at the toe. I'm considering getting a fitted footbed to help with these issues, as otherwise I love them. I'm especially fond of the driver's heel, as my last three pairs of shoes have suffered premature failure of the bond between sole and cushioning at the left heel. This is due to the fact that I drive a manual transmission vehicle with a low seating position, so my heel drags slightly when shifting. It's very annoying when that flap of rubber keeps sticking on the carpet when you drive. I should note that traction with these is an interesting mix. On smooth surfaces they can be really slick when wet, but on other surfaces, specially in somewhat loose dirt, they stick like glue. The other day I walked down a a very steep stream bank made of loose dirt with some friends. Everyone else struggled to control their descent and to get back up, but these Pumas made it a cake walk, other than the sliding around inside the shoes at least. They just plain stuck to the ground. I don't think football cleats could have done any better. Overall I do recommend them, but if you like a snug fit that stays put on the foot, then they might not be for you.

I couldn't be more satisfied with a casual sneaker than I am with this model. The PUMA Whirlwind Classic is extremely comfortable, boasts spot-on retro styling and they're versatile as well: they can easily be called upon for those long, impromptu miles-long walks if you don't feel like changing into your more "technical" trainers. A real winner, across the board.

The look great, but don't have a ton of support. I bought them to use for a trip to Europe, but after breaking them in at home the week before I went and bought something else. Not a shoe you want to walk a lot of miles in.

I bought these for my boyfriend because he loves his Pumas. They were very snug, both in width and in shoe size... very uncomfortable as a whole. Super bummed about this purchase. Good news is, that Zappos is really fast and awesome with returns, and I turned around and got the perfect pair of Nikes in no time.

My son loved the sneakers, but the bottom came off within a very short time. Zappos has a great return policy and stood behind the product.

Very nice and comfortable sneaker. Seems to provide a cushioned walk. I am hoping the nylon uppers will help my feet breathe and feel comfortable in the summer. Will have to wait for that.

These shoes are a little snug, but once they break in, they feel great. They are very stylish, and I am considering getting a second color.

LOVE the shoe in blue! Looks fantastic and very very comfy. As with all Pumas, I ordered a half size bigger. Ordering is always a breeze here as always and is delivered on time or even earlier than expected.

Great shoe, however it really has no arch support whatsoever. I ended up buying sport inserts which worked perfectly after taking out the provided insert. The area around the big toe was a little tight after putting the inserts in (as expected), however it has stretched out with time. If you have issues with arch support, I would suggest buying a half a size larger, and buying the Dr. Scholls sports inserts. Aesthetically, these shoes are great and go with pretty much anything.

Bought these for my 12 year old whose fav color is green. She needed up not liking them so I had to return them. I wish I wore her size so I could keep them for myself.

Epic. Really comfortable, stylish, durable, and the soles leave an awesome pattern when you walk on carpet.

These shoes are hot! I just got them a few days ago and have received a lot of compliments. They're comfortable too, I will definitely be buying a few more pairs.

I've had several of these in different colors and materials. My first pair had a very thin cotton material on the sides with leather on the toe, heal and laces area with the slightly transparent tan color bottoms and the were quite possibly the most comfortable pairs of shoes I have ever wore. The black bottomed ones aren't quite as massage-y from the little nubs when you walk but are still very comfortable. I haven't been able to find them again in the same materials as the first pair but if I do I'll surely snatch them up.

These shoes are like Renée Zellweger's in "Jerry Maguire." They complete me. Not only are they stylish and comfortable, they attract the ladies, and a few guys. I am totally cool with both genders being attracted to my shoes. I long for shoe acceptance! They have little grippy things on the soles. I was able to climb up a wall like Spider-Man. I did not climb far, just like a foot or two and I was hanging on to a window sill, but that does not matter! The green says, "hey, I am bold, an individual and the yellow says, I am double bold and a multi-individual... or something." If you get these, I guarantee you life happiness will increase 12 percent, minimum.

Best shoes I've ever owned, last longer than most other shoes due to the fabric. The bumps on the bottom wear down but no more than any other shoes I've worn. I love the style, how light it is on my feet and the grip when I'm hiking.

Was looking for a cool retro shoe. Read previous reviews expressing how comfortable they were. I ordered from Zappos and was pleasantly surprised. I am on my feet all day at work and these shoes are perfect. Maybe the most comfortable I've ever owned.

These are awesome shoes. They are well-made, look incredible, get lots of compliments, and my husband says they are the most comfortable shoes he has ever owned. This is a big plus, as he has a bunion on one foot and finds it hard to find comfortable, fashionable shoes that don't hurt. These are perfect.

This shoe is light and comfy with very little support. I bought some light-weight inserts and the shoe's even better! Wore it hiking in the Black Hills, and performed well.

My issue with these shoes is with their sole. That cool looking bump pattern is constantly picking up little rocks and twigs. Also, the bumps wear down fast and un-evenly. I've had these shoes for 3 months now and I already have spots where I've worn the bumps off. I do not recommend these shoes.

Love the show. Actually wished I would have bought two pairs for when the first pair gets worn down.

I mostly wear these shoes casually and not for running. I've gotten lots of complements and they are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. The only problem I had with these shoes was the fact that the rubber sole started to peel off on the toe. I may have gotten a defective pair. All in all, I plan on getting these shoes again.
