Just as an FYI, the Ebony/Cordovan/Grey Violet color are more of a burgundy, dark blue and grey than they appear in the picture. Still some of the best shoes I have ever owned...so comfortable. I now own multiple pairs in different colors.

Really good looking shoe that is comfortable. The problem is the bottom of the shoe is made of small little nubs or spikes, walking through dirt or small rocks gets all of this caught in there and you drag it into whatever house you go into next. This was extremely annoying as anywhere I went if I walked though loose soil I'd be tracking it everywhere

I love the way Zappos Team handled my order, it was expedited and shipped accordingly. I live in Angola, Africa and I was able to buy through and got it shipped out. Big thanks to Zappos Team, keep up this good Team-Work.

I bought this shoe for my husband and a short 4 months later, there is a wear hole in the toe of the shoe. They are cute shoes, but the quality is lacking.

About 12 yrs. ago I bought three pairs of a like model, one in men's size, two in women's. They are now shabby, shabby (understatement) so I was elated when I saw this Whirlwind style show up. Other Puma styles I tried were not as comfortable. Just bought a pair of men's today. A little wide but I will put an insole in them. Next thing I know Puma will make a woman's model.

Having been a Puma fan for years now, these shoes do not disappoint! The airiness of the mesh ventilates my feet as well as make the shoe lighter. The studded tread is a first for me, however, it grabs most surfaces quite well. Overall, I like and wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair when these call it quits.

I have only worn them a couple of times so far. As with all Puma shoes, they are narrower than I would like, but with time I trust they will stretch out a bit. Otherwise these provide cushy comfort just walking and standing.

I have been working the past year to build my retro sneaker collection, and this is a wonderful addition! Very comfy and very stylish. A timeless classic! Thanks for having such a great selection of retro sneaks! I will be back for more!

These might be the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I usually buy Pumas because I've always found the comfortable to begin with, but the grip on these shoes (someone described it as looking like a bunch of big, rubber tic tacs sticking out of the shoes) really seems to absorb a lot of the shock/stress that would otherwise get put on your knees. I have a job where I have to stand for extended periods of time on hard tile floors in retail stores, which is very hard on the knees. But since I've been wearing these felt considerably less stress on my knees.

Man, I love these shoes! I own probably 20 pairs of Pumas and these are by far my favorite!
I'm going to order this style in a few new colors.
Fit is comfortable. They are light. Stylish as well as functional.

This shoe does seem to run a little small and narrow, otherwise a cool looking shoe.

This is a very nice shoe -- looks good and feels good. The dimpled sole makes for a very soft and quiet step on hard surfaces. Don't know yet about the durability, but bought a second pair in a different color.

Got these even though my girlfriend hates Puma due to the people that usually wear them. When I told her that I had gotten them the pause in her speech was audible. They look great but I guess I'm off the hook as they won't work for me. There is virtually no arch support and the heel feels to have less padding than that under the ball of the foot creating a feeling I'll describe as walking uphill. Sure, I could buy an insert, but why? I walk a lot every day and don't buy shoes to put up with that hoo-ha. Lesson learned. Thank God for free returns!

These pair of vintage Pumas are incredible comfortable! This color in particular is so out of the ordinary that people hasn't stopped complimenting them! It's really cool! My only suggestion is for you to get the next size up since they run a bit smaller than regular. But for looks, the low price, and the good quality, I'd highly recommend this pair -- better than Adidas originals, I tell you!

Wow, what a great pair of shoes! I took others advice and order 1/2 size larger, and they fit great, almost feels like wearing slippers or no shoes at all. Thanks Zappos!

These sneakers are very comfortable! They may run about a 1/2 size small. I wear an 11 and purchased size 11. I attempted to put in inserts and they were a tad snug. If you use any inserts I would suggest going up a 1/2 size. Other than that, I love the shoes!

This is the 2nd time that I ordered something. First time I got it in 1 day with standard shipping. This time took 5 business days, I was surprised. Product arrived with a couple of manufacture defects I guess but no big deal. Other than that everything was good.

These shoes are moderately comfortable. I had a pair of Roma that were mega comfortable for a street shoe. These were purchased as replacements. The foam is thin at the ball of the foot. The style is great.

I loved the look of these shoes. The suede contrast with the side nylon-ey kind of material was great. One complaint, any walking trough muddy or damp ground resulted in the bumps on the bottom picking up large amounts of dirt. This was annoying but I'm sure once they wear down that will change.

Look great but don't provide a ton of support; thus good for walking around in, but don't wear for working out.

Without a doubt, the best shoes I have ever owned. Extremely light, airy, and well ventilated. The sole of the shoe is an absolute dream to walk around on and has a comfortable, cushy feeling you won't find anywhere else. It's the footwear equivalent of walking around on a big shag rug or barefoot through some lush grass. The sole holds up remarkably well over time, and it's fun to watch those little nubbins wear down. Also, this pair looks cleaner at close to a year old than my pair of Asics that I bought a couple months ago. The only downside is that the tongues would never seem to sit right or slip and would get a bit pinched and dimpled. Other than that, they're the best shoes you can buy for the price.

I am returning this shoe. The pads of my feet hurt from trying them for a day. There is much less support in these Pumas than some of the other Pumas I have owned. They look great but such a dissapointment on overall wear. The material is very light weight and thin. If i kept these it doesn't seem like they would last very long at all.
