Customer Reviews PUMA Whirlwind Classic

These look really nice, but they feel strange. I returned an 11.5 pair (Zappos made that so easy!) because they were constricting on the sides near the ball of my foot. The 12 is a little better but still feels narrow. I have always worn standard width, and an 11.5 Saucony Jazz Original fit perfectly. The insole feels cushioned enough, but is not shaped naturally. Overall I like them. They don't rub, but I might need my own insert.

Comfortable shoe with a sleek, narrow profile. The nubby tread provides excellent cushioning and seems relatively durable after a few weeks of wear. My only complaint is that the material behind the Puma logo/swoosh on both sides is a shinier material than the picture shows (was hoping for something matte). Overall a pretty great shoe, though.

I just recently discovered Zappos after hearing about it for years and seeing a special on the Oprah Winfrey show convinced me to try them out. This has been the absolute most pleasant shopping experience I've ever experienced online. From the free shipping, to the free return shipping and the 365 day return policy! You can't beat these guys! And I swear that you guys must have Santa's Elves working round the clock because every order I place I receive at my door usually by the very next day! Remarkable! And the detailed product photos and short videos are excellent! Not to mention all the time I have saved not driving to the store or mall! I'll be a Zappos customer for a long time to come! Love you guys! Keep up the great work!

Great, comfortable shoes so far. There's little, if any, arch support but the inside of the sneaker has a soft, squishy footbed.

Great shoe. Made out of solid materials. Best price I could find online.

Great shoe. A real classic like the name implies. A custom insole helps for support. An added bonus, works as a great summertime golf shoe.

Love 'em. They look great and are very comfortable. So much so that I can't wait to put 'em on again.

All I can say about Zappos is every time I order from Zappos.com, I am 100% pleased with the service. I love the wording on the order and shipment confirmations and they make everything so easy! Great company!

I saw this style of shoe in a local department store, but the color selection was pretty bland. I thought, 'I bet Zappos has more color options.' Zappos is where I found the color combination that I really liked, so I bought them on my iPhone using the Zappos app.

Okay, here's the deal! I am 57 year old guy that loves life today, but fondly recalls the 70s & 80s. These very retro looking Whirlwind classics took me back to those wonderful times in places like Maui and Redondo Beach. Technically, the shoe is very comfortable and even though it only comes in a standard medium width, it accommodated my wide foot. In Pumas, I usually take a 12, but the 11.5 was a perfect fit. The shoes are well constructed and seem to be resisting signs of wear associated with daily use. Finally, they get a lot of compliments from young and old.

Exceeds all expectations. Built light and sturdy. Was expecting less quality, and was pleasantly surprised. Comfortable cushiony walking.

Great shoe, very comfortable and stylish. The only thing I wasn't counting on is how warm my feet get. I thought they might breath a bit more...

Every bit as awesome as they look. Please note, with the Ebony/Mood Indigos: there is nary a shade of Ebony on these bad boys. They are straight up dark blue. Super light weight and totally quiet. I stand all day in these at work; maybe not built for cushioning but not at all uncomfortable. The free shipping was awesome, thanks Zappos.

Love these classic Puma's! Fit is true and comfortable. They have pretty good cushion, considering they are classics, and the technology is 15+ years old! Zappos, as usual up's their game and got them to my doorstep in under 24 hours! I used standard shipping, and they sent them next day air! Incredible!

Very cool shoes. I get a lot of compliments on them. Pretty comfortable too.

Feels like you are walking on air. My shippment from Zappos was also very quick. Less than 5 days.

Excellent for all day walking. Wish they had it in all Black only and all White only.

This is a very comfortable and attractive shoe. I have a fairly wide foot and this shoe fits just fine. I get compliments nearly every time I wear them!

These shows were much more comfortable than a previous pair of Puma's that I have owned. The feel good and replaced my uncomfortable Puma Roma's (that were probably 5 years old). The only draw back is the little spikes on the driver's heel sometimes catch on the back of my pants. I wonder if they will prematurely wear away the bottom of my pants from the rubbing with the little spikey nubs.

I've never received a compliment on my shoes before. However, the very first night I wore these out, I received two. One by a girl in the bar, and another by a bouncer getting into another bar. Two people you want complimenting any facet of your person on a night out. Besides the fantastic looks, these shoes are quite comfy. They're more narrow than the previous Pumas that I've owned, and run a little on the large side (I believe my last Pumas were 43, and I had to order 42 in these). Oh yeah, and Zappos is the (what?!). For you old-heads, that means good.

I dig these shoes. I get a lot of comments on them. Just the other day a my boss said, "if you click your heels do they take you home?" and I said, "if they did would I be here listening to your lame jokes?" The nubs give you great traction too. Very useful when you're running away from an angry boss.

This shoe's great. It looks sharp and feels cushier than other Pumas I've had in the past. Lightweight and breathable too. Can't go wrong with it.

These are some rad kicks. I bought them to wear while playing ping-pong, and they are perfect for the task. The incredible traction is also worth noting; I am sure they would be great running shoes.

Another casual classic from Puma. I love the retro vibe these shoes have, they're very comfortable and offer great traction. These shoes are great for all day use or even for a casual night out. For me, the greatest feature these shoes have to offer is the driver's heel. I own a vehicle with a manual transmission and the heels of my other shoes are constantly getting jacked up. The drivers heel helps keep my ish looking clean, also prevents my jeans from dragging on the ground. If you're looking for a light shoe with great cushioning, excellent traction and old school flare, look no further!
